Jacobin is a leading voice in the progressive movement, providing incisive analysis of politics, economics, and culture. Founded in 2010, the magazine has quickly become a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges facing the left today.

Jacobin's contributors are a diverse group of scholars, activists, and journalists who share a commitment to social justice and economic equality. Their work is characterized by its rigor, clarity, and passion. Jacobin is not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom or to take on powerful interests. The magazine's commitment to truth-telling has made it a target of both the right and the left.

But Jacobin's critics have only served to strengthen the magazine's resolve. In recent years, Jacobin has played a leading role in the resurgence of the socialist movement in the United States. The magazine's coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the Bernie Sanders campaign has helped to inspire a new generation of activists.

Jacobin is more than just a magazine. It is a community of people who are committed to building a better world. The magazine's website and social media platforms provide a space for readers to connect with each other and to discuss the issues that matter most. Jacobin also organizes events around the country, bringing together activists, scholars, and journalists to discuss the challenges facing the left.

Jacobin is a vital voice in the progressive movement. The magazine's commitment to social justice, economic equality, and truth-telling is more important than ever in these turbulent times. Jacobin is a beacon of hope for a better future.

The New Prophets of Capital

In his book The New Prophets of Capital, Bhaskar Sunkara argues that Jacobin is part of a new wave of socialist publications that are challenging the dominant neoliberal consensus. These publications, which include Current Affairs, Dissent, and The Nation, are providing a much-needed space for critical analysis of capitalism and the promotion of socialist alternatives.

Sunkara argues that the new prophets of capital are not simply preaching to the choir. They are reaching out to a new generation of activists and intellectuals who are disillusioned with the status quo and are looking for a way to make the world a more just and equitable place. Jacobin and other socialist publications are providing these activists with the ideas and the inspiration they need to fight for a better future.

The Future of Jacobin

Jacobin is at a crossroads. The magazine has achieved great success in a short period of time, but it faces a number of challenges going forward. The magazine's funding model is still precarious, and it is constantly under attack from the right. Additionally, the magazine has been criticized for its lack of diversity, both in terms of its staff and its contributors.

Despite these challenges, Jacobin is well-positioned to continue to play a leading role in the progressive movement. The magazine has a strong and loyal readership, and it is constantly expanding its reach. Additionally, Jacobin has a talented staff of editors and writers who are committed to producing high-quality journalism.

The future of Jacobin is bright. The magazine is poised to continue to grow and to have a major impact on the progressive movement. Jacobin is a vital voice in the struggle for a more just and equitable world.

Jacobin is a leading voice in the progressive movement. The magazine's commitment to social justice, economic equality, and truth-telling is more important than ever in these turbulent times. Jacobin is a beacon of hope for a better future.
