We’re told that we’re the ony store in Chicago right now to have this!
This issue is The Baffler vol 2 #1, and you can get it here on the web or here in the store!
It features essays by Michael Lind on the emerging American oligarchy; Yves Smith on the mountainous self-regard of the American finance industry; Chris Lehmann on libertarianism’s willful failure to understand the economic crisis; Naomi Klein’s reflections on “branding” in American politics 10 years after her magnum opus, No Logo; Matt Taibbi on the howler of a memoir just published by a certain doltish Midwestern governor; plus ruminations on the ruination of Detroit, a very funny fantasy about rumbling with the personnages of the Western literary canon, and a clever story by Paul Maliszewski.
