What Is The State For?
In the latest issue of Boston Review, philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò leads a forum on progressive orientations to the state. He argues for a twenty-first century "two-step" politics that identifies fossil capital as the principal barrier to achieving a left/progressive vision of state power and social justice. Respondents include Thea Riofrancos, Martin O'Neill, Amy Kapczynski, Gianpaolo Baiocchi, Ishac Diwan and Bright Simons, and more.

The issue also includes essays by Joshua Craze on the relationship between militias and the state, Leila Farsakh on Palestinian statehood, and Janice Fine on labor and the administrative state.
