Jacobin is the most vital media outlet for left politics and commentary in the English language, publishing four beautifully designed issues per year and hundreds of incisive, must-read articles on current events each month.
After 14 years of publishing, our full archive of 55 issues contains era-defining writing on left politics and strategy, theory, culture, international affairs, and critical historical analysis.
In the past two years alone, our quarterly magazine has tackled the most pressing challenges facing progressive politics today. This includes everything from our recent edition on Donald Trump and the global right to issues on inflation, artificial intelligence, the tremendous costs of aging in America, the flight of working-class voters away from left parties across the globe, the contours of nationalism today, and America’s collapsing infrastructure.
Digital institutional subscriptions include fully-searchable access to our complete magazine archive.
Latest Issue:
For the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, our upcoming print issue examines the past and future of American democracy.
While the rebellion of 1776 expressed Enlightenment principles of liberty and equality, the democratic experiment it sparked remains woefully incomplete. Today, the United States is far less democratic than patriotic mythology suggests.
In this issue, we evaluate the institutions that limit democracy, from the Senate and the Electoral College to our federalist system and the Constitution itself, a document that functions as a “charter for plutocracy.” But we also chronicle the strands of the American tradition that inspire ongoing struggle. We highlight the often overlooked radical figures of the American revolution, review the tragically unrealized potential of Reconstruction, arguably the country’s true democratic foundation, and much more.
