Summer 2025 The Independent Review is Here

Pronouns in LinkedIn bios. “Stop climate change!” bumperstickers in the office bathroom. Pride pins on lapels.

When did Leftist politics become part of the dress code at work? And why does no one bat an eye?

The Independent Review’s Summer 2025 issue marks the launch of its 30th anniversary celebration with a bold new redesign and a thought-provoking symposium that attempts to answer this deceptively simple question. Contributors offer a range of insights into the recent rise of corporate social activism: Does it come from the separation of ownership and control? Has the market failed to punish managers who don’t pursue their owners’ interests? And what role does government intervention play in all this?

Read this issue and discover the incentives, constraints, and opportunities that have caused this phenomenon to emerge—and what, if anything, might rein it in.
