We hope everyone is safe and in good health. The latest issue of Catalyst is here for you to read, and it's a good one.

It's an excellent one featuring an important piece on the economic origins of mass incarceration, and "An Agenda for Class Analysis" by Göran Therborn, among other standouts.

Featuring Simon Mohun and Grace Blakeley on changes in the UK economy and politics, a feature on the US and left party strategy, and Matt Karp on the mass politics of antislavery, among others.

Our new issue features Noam Chomsky, Matt Huber, Ramaa Vasudevan and many others.

In it, Suzy Lee makes the case for open borders, and we present an overview of recent German political economy, and more.

Featuring Sam Gindin, Jane McAlevey, Lea Ypi, and many others.

In this edition, we discuss the Janus v. AFSCME ruling and what happened to the Pink Tide, state socialism and women's liberation, among other topics.

This issue of Catalyst is dominated by two broad themes: the role of symbols and media in modern capitalism, and political transitions in the Global South.

It features Touré Reed, Stephanie Coontz, and others. If you're a print subscriber, your copy is likely on the way and should be to you shortly. This is an important issue for us — number four — so if you're up for renewal, please do consider renewing and also spreading the word about Catalyst to your friends and colleagues. Please "save as" and download the PDF link below, since it can only be accessed a few times.
