CALL TO SUBMIT ARTICLES [NOTE: The dates below are, obviously, out of date. The first issue will in fact be published this year (2009, not 2006), and the schedule below will be updated soon. Watch this space!] Later this year (2006) the Molinari Institute will begin publishing a magazine (either quarterly or bimonthly – stay tuned) 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 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). Note: since we plan to build up two or three issues’ worth of articles before beginning publication, the initial round of submissions should probably avoid being so topical as to risk being dated by the time the first issues come out. 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. We plan to have the following double-themed issues. (Issues will not be devoted exclusively to these themes, nor will articles on a given theme be confined to issues with that theme, so please feel free to submit articles that don’t fit these themes or this schedule.) Issue 1:The Industrial Radical does not impose a party line; we welcome discussion and vigorous debate from all quarters, and in particular from other anarchists and radical libertarians from the left and from the right. Copyright policy: Submission of work for publication in The Industrial Radical constitutes agreement to make such work available under the terms of copyleft as described on our copyleft page. Fees paid to contributors: $10 for articles one page or shorter, $20 for articles longer than a page. |  |
