Next year, America has a chance not only to inaugurate a new president, but also to welcome a new progressivism. It’s a chance not just to repair the damage of the Bush years or to put in place long overdue items from the progressive agenda, but to put forward big, bold ideas that can respond to the very specific and new challenges of our times. In its spring issue, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas presented 20 of these new ideas. Join us as we explore some of these ideas in depth, and debate the contours of the new progressive agenda.

Democracy: A Journal of Ideas is a quarterly journal of progressive thought founded by Kenneth Baer and Andrei Cherny that serves as a place where ideas can be developed and important debates can be spurred. Democracy is the progressive analogue of conservative journals such as Commentary, the Public Interest, and the National Interest, and it showcases breakthrough thinking on the major domestic and foreign policy issues of our time. Democracy is sold in bookstores in 49 states, and its readers – in print and at www.democracyjournal.org – can be found in 90 countries around the world. It recently was named Best New Publication by the Utne Independent Press Awards.
