I recently picked up Commentary Magazine and read almost all the articles discussing the Supreme Court behavior.
I really enjoyed the articles. I understand this magazine is considered conservative, but I certainly didn’t find all the opinions expressed to be one sided.
Does anyone have any suggestions for other magazines or periodicals that dissect the behavior of congress, the Supreme court, and the executive branch with a similiar tone and depth?
I am particularly interested in viewpoints that watch for political acts that may have an important effect on the very structure and health of our democracy, where it is, and where it is going.
Or discussions that examine the elements of socialism and capitalism in the USA and really debate and explore the consequences of each.
Well there’s always The New Republic for commentary on politics and the arts. A majority of the contributors are liberals, but certainly it’s not one hundred percent. The political reporting covers topics that only get minimal attention from the mainstream media, especially budget issues.
If you want a view of government action from a libertarian perspective, Liberty is a worthwhile magazine to read. I also like to check out the Cato Institute website.
As someone who tends to social libertarianism but economic social democracy, i don’t agree with everything that these sources say, but they have some very smart writers and are worth reading.
