I’ve plugged The New Inquiry before. I would like to do so again in the wake of their recent upgrade. Not only does The New Inquiry now feature a magazine that readers can subscribe to for $2/month. They have also upgraded their blog by swallowing up some of my favorite bloggers, including Aaron Bady of Zunguzungu blog fame, and Rob Horning, author of Marginal Utility.
For a recent sample of the type of writing we can expect from The New Inquiry, check out Bady’s remarkable review of David Graeber‘s remarkable book, Debt: the First 5,000 Years. Enjoy.
One Thought on this Post
S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
As Malcolm Harris of The New Inquiry pointed out to me, I only hyped two male bloggers, which is problematic given that the majority of New Inquiry bloggers are women-a rarity in the blogosphere. So check them all out here. Mea culpa.
