Don’t call it a comeback. Months ago, at the height of last winter’s Occupy eruption, I wrote that we were “in the last throes of the era of Ezra Klein.” But then came rebuttals from the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. The editorial class demanded, “More Ezra!”

Maybe “epoch” would’ve been the fitting word.

Of course, my premature announcement took Klein as representative of a broader ideology in decline. There is much to like about the wunderkind blogger — the clean prose, the friendly disposition, the intellectual curiosity. He is the best example of a technocratic liberalism that prospered in the center-left over the past decade. If anything, Jacobin expects to be, with others, part of a radical resurgence that shares Klein’s rigor and accessibility, but benefits from a structural critique of capitalism and a dynamic theory of politics. Here’s to hoping.
