The American: A Magazine of Ideas, was founded in November 2006 by James K. Glassman, the former publisher of The Atlantic Monthly and The New Republic, as a project of The American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Writers include Amity Shlaes and Victor Davis Hanson.
The magazine replaced the public affairs magazine The American Enterprise. "Our perspective," says Glassman, "is not partisan, but it is rooted in liberal, free-market economics." Glassman states that he thinks "the three major business magazines have, in an attempt to get a broader audience, gone downscale," creating a "big opening" for an intellectual magazine about business that is "absolutely not partisan or ideological - mainly a reported magazine rather than a magazine of opinion." Jonathan Chait, writing in The New Republic, the magazine Glassman published from 1981 to 1984, said of the newly-named magazine's switch in format, "The American now seems less dewy-eyed about the virtues of democracy and far more dewy-eyed about the virtues of the bottom line. Out is the conservatism of Paul Wolfowitz. In is the conservatism of Montgomery Burns."
Initial circulation is just over 50,000, with half paid, half controlled, with some copies available at airports and newsstands. The American is published six times a year. Its other editors are David Robinson and Marianne Wasson. Its publishing director is Sam Schulman, formerly publisher of Wigwag. Alexander Isley, the former art director for Spy, designs the glossy magazine. The first issue was delayed until after the November 2006 election to include election results.
Luke Mullins's interview of a white-collar criminal who spent time in a minimum-security prison, which stated that minimum-security prisons were no longer "country-club prisons," prompted criticism by Peter Carlson in a column in the Washington Post.
The magazine publishes additional content at its website, including book reviews and its "American Conversation" podcast interviews, whose subjects have included Tyler Cowen and Tim Ryan.
