The Independent Review
Winter 2023/24
The Winter 2023/24 issue of The Independent Review is hot off the presses!

In this issue: Is it right for public employee pension funds to pressure corporate boards to adopt climate change policies? What is an economic recession, exactly? Was dropping nuclear weapons on Japan really necessary to win World War II or was Japan on the verge of surrendering? Can we understand markets without understanding cultures? How do we think about the economies of East Asia? Does the good of man’s soul fit with the logic of capitalism? (It does.)

As always, this issue’s contributors boldly challenge the intellectual status quo, forcing us to consider deeper alternatives that contest the cliché teachings of mainstream academia.

This issue also features the winners of our 2023 Student Essay Contest! The First Place award was won by Phoebe Johnston, a student-athlete at Hillsdale College, who wrote the winning essay “Smith and Cicero on Philosophy in Action.” The second and third place winning essays are also posted. The 2024 Essay Contest is now open for submissions.
