The Institute’s collective work depended on Horkheimer’s personal patronage and managerial protection.

Evidence

Marcuse’s dream in the early years after the warworking with Horkheimer again and restarting the journalseemed suddenly about to come true. It was a dream of engaging in free, articulate thinking under the protective hand of Horkheimer as a managerial scholarthe dream which had also linked Benjamin, Fromm, Neumann, Kirchheimer, Lowenthal and Adorno to Horkheimer and which had come true for a few of them, at least for a time. The chance to continue the collaboration remained a dream this time as well. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 488
