CALL TO SUBMIT ARTICLES





Since October 2012, the Molinari Institute has been publishing a magazine (quarterly for now; possibly later bimonthly) titled The Industrial Radical, and devoted to radical libertarian political and social analysis in the tradition of Benjamin Tuckers 1881-1908 Liberty, Emma Goldmans 1906-1917 Mother Earth, and Murray Rothbards 1965-1968 Left & Right.



Topics to be explored in future issues include: radical libertarian alternatives to statism, militarism, and intellectual property; the social and cultural requirements of a free and flourishing society; the structure of work, family, and property relationships in such a society; strategies for getting from here to there; and the possibility of gains from trade between the left/socialist and right/capitalist traditions within libertarianism.



The title Industrial Radical honors the libertarian and individualist anarchist thinkers and activists of the 19th century, who were industrial in the sense of championing what they called the industrial mode of social organization, based on voluntary cooperation and mutual benefit, over the militant mode, based on hierarchy, regimentation, and violence; and who were radical in the sense of recognizing that social problems are embedded in sustaining networks of institutions and practices, and so can be addressed only via thoroughgoing social change. Their approach informs our vision.



We hereby solicit submissions (of any length, from a bloggish paragraph to a sprawling multipart essay). Articles published will also be made available online. Previously published submissions are welcome so long as they may be reprinted consistently with our copyright policy. (Artwork also welcome! Likewise letters!)
