Research Resource: Online Archive of The Public Interest
The Public Interest was founded in 1965 by Daniel Bell and Irving Kristol and ceased publication in 2005.
It was a very influential journal of policy and political thought, and at its best featured top writers from across the political spectrum. The Public Interest often was critical of the status quo, and regularly argued for changes in major public policies, such as welfare and housing programs.
Now, courtesy of its successor journal, National Affairs, all of its issues may be accessed freely at The Public Interest archive.
