The New Left Review is a British bimonthly journal, established in 1960, which analyzes international politics, the global economy, social theory, and cultural topics from a leftist perspective.

As part of the emerging British "New Left" in the late 1950s, a number of journals were launched to carry commentary on matters of Marxist theory.

[1] The New Reasoner distanced itself from the British Communist Party and USSR in the wake of Nikita Khrushchev's February 1956 "Secret Speech" on the Stalinist cult of personality, and the Soviet repression of the Hungarian Uprising in November 1956.

[2] The early New Left Review style, featuring illustrations on the cover and in the interior layout, was more irreverent and free-flowing than the publication's later issues, which tended to be more somber and academic.

A 2011 essay by Wolfgang Streeck, titled "The Crises of Democratic Capitalism",[4] was called "the most powerful description of what has gone wrong in western societies" by the Financial Times's contributor Christopher Caldwell.
