Libertarian Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Libertarian Review was a libertarian magazine published until 1981. It had been established by Robert Kephart in the early '70s as a book-review magazine, initially titled Books for Libertarians. In 1977, Charles Koch purchased the magazine and turned it into a national magazine under the editorship of Roy Childs.
At the time, there were two other slick-paper libertarian magazines, Reason, which at the time leaned towards the right wing of the libertarian spectrum, and Inquiry, which tilted left. Libertarian Review was more movement-oriented than either magazine. It also differed from both in its strong opposition to nuclear energy.
In the summer of 1981, the Koch Foundation, which was funding Inquiry as well as Libertarian Review, decided that it could not continue to support two magazines and folded Libertarian Review into Inquiry. The last issue was November/December 1981.
