  Radical Philosophy - Articles - May/June 1998
Simply put, with his state capitalism thesis, Friedrich Pollock alleged that the command and mixed economies of the 1920s and 1930s marked the 'transition from a predominantly economic to an essentially political era'.1 Initially, this state capitalism thesis will be contrasted with Adorno's own view of twentieth-century liberal democracies.
Pollock further believed that by establishing wage and price controls, the state also succeeded in controlling distribution either through direct allocation to consumers or via a 'pseudo-market' that served to regulate consumption.
Pollock recognized that his thesis was not new; a number of writers had already studied the ways in which liberal economies had increasingly come under the control of the state.

The manner in which Pollock's string-like curls and tangles of paint communicate with one another as if in a dance expresses harmony in the midst of dissonance, composure in the midst of chaos.
In effect, Pollock rebuffs the viewer's focus, thus keeping the viewer suspended and caught in the chaos that he carefully creates.
Pollock's technique was as innovative as the paintings to which it gave rise.

 Karsten H. Piep: ". . . The Neumann-Pollock Debate in Light of Marcuse's 'State and Individual un National ...
At first glance, Pollock's and Neumann's positions appear almost irreconcilable, for the formers assessment of the economic organization of Nazi Germany strongly emphasizes political factors or "the will to political power" (81), while the latter's analysis is firmly grounded in economic dynamics or the "motivating power of...profit" (192).
Moreover, Pollock points out that under state capitalism the profit motive is gradually replaced by the power motive, because power is no longer contingent upon individual profits, but upon a close association with the political ruling circles.
Merging Pollock and Neumann's positions, Marcuse henceforth compares the National Socialistic state to a highly efficient "machine," whose workings are "coordinated in a bureaucratic apparatus which integrates the interests of industry, army, and party" (78).

 FRIEDRICH POLLOCK
La critica di Pollock si avvia nel considerare due insiemi di cause: innanzitutto quelle d’ordine politico, quindi le perturbazioni della divisione internazionale del lavoro, l’inquietudine politica in seguito al primo conflitto mondiale e la sfiducia nel sistema internazionale di credito, a cui si aggiungono fattori di perturbazione economica dovuti allo sviluppo tecnico della produzione agricola.
Pollock distingue l’economia tedesca dall’ideale di piano da lui teorizzato: la prima è più un “ insieme disarmonico e disarticolato di soluzioni provvisorie progettate per far fronte a compiti e agli oneri creati dalla guerra e dalla corsa agli armamenti”.
Friedrich Pollock smette di scrivere sulla rivista, e non solo a causa del suo pieno impiego amministrativo all’interno dell’Istituto.

 Critical Theory and the Crisis of Social Theory: Kellner
Pollock's "State Capitalism" (Bronner and Kellner 1989:95-118) established a framework for the Institute's later analysis of the new relations between the state and the economy during the postwar era.
Pollock claims that state capitalism -- in both its "democratic" and "totalitarian" forms -- produces a "command economy" exhibiting a "primacy of the political" whereby the state comes to manage the economy.
Against Neumann's analysis of fascism in Behemoth (1941), Pollock maintained that "the profit motive is superseded by the power motive." Indeed, the Institute members never agreed about whether economic or political imperatives were primary for the new fascist state.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Culture | A critical exile
When Horkheimar moved to southern California, along with Friedrich Pollock, who managed the daily affairs of the Institute, Adorno and his wife followed.
As his genre of choice the essay -- an otherwise despised form in German academia -- allowed Adorno to forward a conscious critique of the predominant, systematic form of presenting a Weltanschauung, one that gave Adorno plenty of scope for irony, humour and playfulness.
This idea of play permeated Adorno's texts, freeing him, along with Friedrich Schiller's Letters on Aesthetic Education, to explore his topics intuitively and creatively, away from the straightjacket of the system, as it were.

 2blowhards.com: Pollock's Drip Fractals
After a chance occurrence got him thinking about possible affinities between Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings and fractals, Dr. Taylor scanned a Pollock drip painting into a computer, then covered the image with a computer-generated mesh of identical squares, and analyzed which squares were occupied by the painted pattern and which were empty.
When Doc Taylor examined the “statistics” of the Pollock drip painting patterns under different sized-grids—from ones small enough to isolate a single speck of paint to grids a meter square—he found that the Pollock's imagery was of a fractal nature, with the same patterns appearing over the entire scale range.

Friedrich Pollock was one of those who had been involved with the Institut from the beginning, and took over the role of Director on the death of Carl Grünberg.

Max Horkheimer [Archive] later himself became Director of the Institut, and it was Horkheimer who guided the Institut into its innovative exploration of cultural aspects of the development of capitalism.

 The Cambridge Companion to Critical Theory - Cambridge University Press
Critical Theory was born in the trauma of the Weimar Republic, grew to maturity in expatriation, and achieved cultural currency on its return from exile.
It is still a vital philosophical and political perspective, and a third generation of critical theorists, among whom Axel Honneth is most prominent, continue to press its concerns largely in terms of the tradition that began in the Weimar years.
Postone traces the arc of Critical Theory’s involvement with the question of state capitalism and related issues by situating that involvement in terms of general historical movements in Critical Theory and against the background of the reception of Marx’s concept of labor.

 postone.html
Pollock called the Soviet system “state capitalism” but was unable to discern the operation of the law of value in its dynamic.
From this (Stalinist) experience and from fascism, Pollock embraced a “pessimism” about any possible positive supersession of capitalism, a pessimism that was taken over by the Frankfurt School generally, Horkheimer and Adorno first of all.
They are of course welcome to their pessimism, and they had plenty of company in embracing it at “midnight in the century”, as Victor Serge called those years.

 NOEMA > IDEAS
Institut members Friedrich Pollock and Otto Kirchheimer were among the first to characterize the new "state capitalism" of the 1930s (8).
Overcoming the traditional Marxist portrayal of monopoly capitalism, which had met its dialectical contradiction in the crisis of 1929, they described a definitive shift away from the liberal system where production and distribution were governed by contractualized market relations between individual agents.
What we now remember most are the theory and critique of the culture industry, and the essay of that name; but much more important at the time was a volume of sociological research called The Authoritarian Personality, published in 1950 (11).

In 1933 Marcuse became an associate of the newly established branch of the Institut in Geneva, and in 1934, when the Institut moved to New York and set itself up at Columbia University as the International Institute of Social Research, Marcuse was the first to join its staff there.
Horkheimer, Pollock, Marcuse, and Lowenthal, with newcomer Franz Neumann, all worked together in the New York center, teaching, giving public lectures, and engaging in research; Adorno, after four years in England, joined them briefly after 1938.
Much of the effort of the Institut in these years was directed towards rescuing anti-Nazi intellectuals and guaranteeing them a means of livelihood.

Politically and economically he responds to a theory of state capitalism proposed by Friedrich Pollock during the war years.
An economist by training who was supposed to contribute a chapter to Dialectic of Enlightenment but never did (Wiggershaus 1994, 313-19), Pollock argued that the state had acquired dominant economic power in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and New Deal America.
He called this new constellation of politics and economics "state capitalism." While acknowledging with Pollock that political and economic power have become more tightly meshed, Adorno does not think this fact changes the fundamentally economic character of capitalist exploitation.
