Evidence

His primary concern was still indignation about social injustice, about the contrast between wealth and poverty. Horkheimer was here able to draw on his own experience as the son of a millionaire, which protected him from any suspicion that he was merely harbouring resentment. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 185 (#complicates, via linked claim)
