Dear Readers,

I’m pleased to announce the release of our latest issue. It features some of our finest essays yet and clocks in at over seventy pages. Particular standouts include Peter Frase’s rumination on the decline of the Baffler magazine, a publication more fit for the snark-filled nineties than the promise of our own era, and Seth Ackerman’s long exegesis on the economics of a feasible socialism. If you’ve ever stayed up late wondering how the role of profit would change under socialism, this one’s for you.

Also, perhaps you need a hug.
