Reason

Reason is the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets." It covers politics, culture, and ideas through aprovocative mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews. Reason provides a refreshing alternative to right-wing and left-wing opinion magazines by making a principled case for liberty and individual choice in all areas of human activity.
