It's long been the corporate liberal mag - their ex-economics editor Bill Wolman gave Monthly Review a nice blurb in a 1970s profile (right, John?). Wolman's low point, however, was the infamous "Death of Equities" cover in 1979. Otherwise, he was a smart, skeptical soc dem-ish presence at BW. Their recent editor, Steven Shepherd, was a pretty sophisticated & humane guy. They got carried away with the New Economy nonsense, but that was led by a Dollars & Sense alum.
