Inquiry Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inquiry Magazine was a libertarian magazine published from 1977 to 1984. It was originally published by the Cato Institute, but in 1982 was transferred to the Libertarian Review Foundation. It was edited first by Williamson Evers, then by Glenn Garvin, and finally by Doug Bandow. At different points in its history, its editorial staffers included Mark Paul, Jonathan Marshall, and Jack Shafer.
Established along with Cato, Inquiry was initially a biweekly journal of investigative reporting and libertarian-oriented opinion. The magazine was aimed at libertarians and at liberals and leftists critical of state power. It featured regular columns by Nat Hentoff on civil liberties and Thomas Szasz on psychiatry, foreign reporting by Penny Lernoux, and CIA exposes by such writers as David Wise and Fred Landis. It included extensive cultural coverage as well, including reviews by Anthony Burgess and film criticism by Stephen Harvey. Its poetry editor was Dana Gioia.
When the Cato Institute moved to Washington, DC, in 1982, the magazine became a monthly, with a stronger (though not exclusive) emphasis on free market economics. It ceased publication in 1984.
