Baffling the consensus since 1988, this journal seeks to debunk the ideology of the free market and to drive public discourse in literate and humane directions. Issues contain thundering anti-business salvos from the sharpest minds, as well as poetry, literature, and satirical art.
Contributions for The Baffler No. 19 include Thomas Frank on the age folly, Barbara Ehrenreich on our relationship to big animals, David Graeber on how technology has failed us, Chris Lehmann on the proletarian novelist Ernest Poole, and Rick Perlstein on Ronald Reagan’s path to the presidency.
