Horkheimer suppressed the Institute’s authorship of its own most successful study.

Evidence

If a book of ours is published in which questions of this sort’the goals of political maturity for the electorate and social as opposed to authoritarian democracyare seriously considered, it very much carries an obligation. It is a serious matter of theory. I cannot see why the staff of the Institute should want to enter the arena with a political text simply because a research report is being published.' In 1961 Students and Politics came out with the publishers Luchterhand in the series Sociological Texts’, of which Heinz Maus was a co-founder. It contained no mention of the Institute of Social Research, except in the remarks on research methods in the appendix. The Institute of Social Research, whose identity Horkheimer saw as being threatened by Habermas, remained virtually anonymous in the book, and thus denied itself in the very publication that was to become the most successful empirical study the re-established Institute ever produced. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 583
