Challenge is dedicated to publishing highly readable heterodox articles on contemporary and historical economic subjects. Its tradition is a progressive one, having been started in the 1970s to support new Keynesian ideas. Challenge ’s readership is lay professional, but includes many economists and other academics who often use the articles as supplements to their class syllabi. It is a magazine, not a journal, and has thrived for more than four decades by serving as an approachable and timely source of ideas, information, and public policy proposals. It is written mostly by economists but also by political scientists, sociologists, psychologist, and journalists. Thus, Challenge occasionally publishes statistical and quantitative research but is focused on well-researched opinions with strong points of view, and as noted timeliness is important. It has never been peer reviewed: its objectives are, like traditional magazines, to be highly literate, to question current doctrine, to react quickly to new events, to work for the public goods, and above all, to be interesting.
