Issue 58 (Mar./Apr. 2026) - Print/Digital PDF

Spring is in the air and the latest issue of Current Affairs has hit the shelves! We dive into the banal horror of Jimmy Fallon, the surprising politics of Texas’s original cowboys, and the hidden history behind a 19th-century coal mining murder spree. Beyond breathtaking cover art by Myriam Wares, you’ll discover the beauty of monster-hunting comic Bitter Root, and perhaps walk away with a newfound respect for ska music. We also look at the dark underbelly of lolcow culture, explore a long-lost socialist village in India, and learn how Bernie Sanders conquered Burlington. Speaking of Vermont, we also sit down with Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen to hear why he pivoted from making ice cream to trying to stop the U.S. war machine. Oh, and you’ll find an op-ed on the attention crisis from none other than Adam McKay: the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind The Big Short, Vice, and Don’t Look Up. This is one magazine you don't want to miss.
