"The son of an industrialist who wanted to abolish private property. A Jew who didn't want anything to do with Judaism. A professor who published little. An economist who squandered money on the stock market. A communist who thought Marxism was anachronistic. And finally: a critical intellectual. When dealing with the political culture of the Weimar Republic, the development of Critical Theory and German-Jewish emigration to the USA, there is no way around Friedrich Pollock.
