The Institute sought comparable family-authority data across China, Europe, and America.

Evidence

The result the Institute hoped for was a follow-up volume to Wittfogel’s study on Economy and Society in China, 72 which had been published in the Institute’s series of publications, and questionnaire material on authority structures in the Chinese family which were to be compared with the Institute’s European and American studies. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 195
