Which of these magazines should I subscribe to?
Which of these mags are worth a subscription, or at least a read at the local library?

American Prospect
Prospect (U.K.)
Dissent

If you pick all of them/none of them, please explain why.

Also, would someone please tell me the difference between the Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy magazines.

10. I work at a magazine shop.
So I get to read em all.

D&S is always at the top of my stack though.

12. Excellent...
D&S really kicks ass. And the D&S collective works hard to keep radical Econ voices heard.

:hi:

2. American Prospect is a great magazine. I'd choose it. In fact, I have.
I read it religiously.

3. Not familiar with those, but I'll say Z or maybe the New Left Review.

13. I only pay a teeny bit a month...
Not more than $10/month, I think.

But yeah, ZNet is one of my fave sites.

I gotta get my hands on "The Take"...they didn't have it in the Doc section at Newbury Comics, which surprised me.

15. If you're not above torrenting it I could hook you up once my internet is fixed tomorrow.

I think the minimum for sustainers is only $3, but even those $3 is more than I can afford to spend on a website right now, haha.

Plus, I don't have a credit card, so I don't have a way to pay them. If I did I could just cut like Adbusters out of my bi-monthly purchases, since a sustainer account on Z would be way better, haha.

14. American Prospect is great.
If DU had it's own magazine, I think it would look a lot like this, minus the GD-P flamewars.
