The American: A Magazine of Ideas, was founded in November 2006 by James K. Glassman, the former publisher of The Atlantic Monthly, as a project of The American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Writers include Amity Shlaes and Victor Davis Hanson.
The magazine "seeks 'to pick up' where the original Fortune magazine supposedly left off when started by Henry Luce in 1930." Initial circulation is 45,000.
The magazine takes the place of the public affairs journal 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."
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. The magazine is designed by Alexander Isley, the former art director for Spy.
The first issue was delayed until after the November 2006 election to include election results.
The magazine publishes additional content and podcasts at its website, American.com.
