The wartime yearbook was to be organized around Horkheimer’s racket theory of society

Evidence

For the duration of the war, according to an announcement in the last issue of the SPSS, a yearbook would be published. The plan was seriously followed up, and Kirchheimer and Neumann were pressured again and again to submit contributions on a topic suggested by Horkheimer, the racket theory of society (see below, pp. 318-19). — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 321
