<p><em>The Baffler</em> is America’s leading voice of interesting and unexpected left-wing political criticism, cultural analysis, short stories, poems and art. </p>
<p><a href="https://thebaffler.com/about/history">Founded in 1988</a> by Thomas Frank as “the journal that blunts the cutting edge,” the magazine is currently edited by Chris Lehmann and headquartered in New York. <em>The Baffler</em> publishes both new and established voices, and its regular contributors include Barbara Ehrenreich, Susan Faludi, Evgeny Morozov, Rick Perlstein and Astra Taylor. </p>
<p>Regular subjects include Silicon Valley snake-oil, the deadening weight of consumer capitalism, our faithless media, and the redemptive promise of people claiming control of their own lives. </p>
<p><em>The Baffler</em> is owned by the non-profit Baffler Foundation and the majority its budget comes from tax-deductible donations. It is as charitable as a church, and certainly more fun. </p>
