Dollars and Sense is a pretty good left econ pub too, but suffers from the same low readership problem. The problem is that any Left position is mightily unpopular in the US (it is a Dog's country, after all) and those who are attracted to it are idealistic/culturalistic types, often with upper middle class background, who do not give two shits about how the real world really works.

Wojtek -- Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think a lot of the US left tends to be big on moralizing and short and facts. Moralizaing's all well and good, but be sure you know what you're talking about first. (Are you listening, Counterpunch?)
