In their exploration of the history and significance of caricature, art historian E.H.Gombrich and psychoanalyst and art historian Ernst Kris note: "From a sophisticated studio joke, thrown off for the amusement of the artist’s intimates, caricature had become a social weapon unmasking the pretension of the powerful and killing by ridicule."
Among them were Ernst Gombrich (entrusted with the main task of finding a publisher), Friedrich Hayek (who wanted to get Popper to the London School of Economics and thus was enthused by Popper's turn to social philosophy), Lionel Robbins, Harold Laski (both of whom reviewed the manuscript), and J.N. Findlay.
