Cannot afford magazines, I get information from the internet.

I just subscribed to Canada's History (formerly known as The Beaver (but they had to change that)).

Used to get BorderCrossings, maybe will again.

I'm really impressed with the new Vice magazine. I knew the guys who started it (it was Voice for a while) and it went from indie to sketchy and then the last issue was phenomenal -- real journalism on real issues thoughtfully done.

I let my subscriptions to Broken Pencil and Canadian Dimension run out...

American magazines used to be insanely expensive to subscribe to in Canada, but I think that has changed. My wishlist would be Artforum, Harper's, In These Times, The New Yorker & Vanity Fair.

My public library back home used to give away copies of the New Yorker that were a couple months old for free. I'd usually pick a few up whenever I was in there.

I like the Economist, too.

I used to read news magazines whenever I got the chance (Time, Newsweek, etc) but I was often not satisfied with the depth or information of those sorts of publications. That's why I like the New Yorker, they have huge long-form essays that really go into depth on given topics.

I subscribe to the Times Education Supplement, mainly to keep up to date with teaching stuff.

I buy some music magazines such as Metal Hammer. I'd love to read some communist/anarchist magazines, but don't know where to buy them.

[Os Cangaceiros]

^if you're living in a major city, there's a good chance that there's some kind of left-wing bookstore/infoshop that sells communist/anarchist lit.

That reminds me, I liked Fire to the Prisons a lot too. That got discontinued I think though. There's another publication called 325 that's still going and kinda like FTTP.

Does anyone know if there's anything like a historical journal that comes in magazine form? I'd be interested in that.

[Vladimir Innit Lenin]

Journal of Economic History and Economic History Review should be available through JSTOR or your university/college library. I dunno if they come in magazine form.

OH EDIT (but not really an edit, I just remembered): there's a journal called 'Past and Present'. It's been going since the 50s, it was set up by a fantastic economic historian, Rodney Hilton. Especially in the 50s it posted a lot of good debates, i'd advise you take a look. Should definitely be available in a good university library, i've seen the entire collection in mine.

Our local historical society publishes a quarterly? journal that I really enjoy. You might find something similar nearby.

Monthly Review, ICC( just asked for it), Revolutionary Democracy. Few in Hindi and Punjabi.

P.S Anyone got old issues of Anglo-Soviet Journal and Hungarian Quaterly ? They had good content. They are available online but you have to download every single page as pdf :/
