Over 27 pages, New York’s August 6-19, 2018 issue takes a seismic reading of the financial earthquake of 2008 and its aftershocks, including those that still jolt us today. The cover image symbolizes the way in which the market meltdown’s effects ooze until now, according to design director Tom Alberty. The issue features: Frank Rich on waking from the American Dream; the perils of the casino economy, by Christopher Caldwell; the end of the era of men, by Hanna Rosin, and Rachael Combe on how the crash stirred the next wave of feminism; Steve Bannon on Trump’s rise from the conflagration; Barney Frank on lost opportunities to help homeowners; and Andrew Sullivan on the rebirth of socialism from the failures of capitalism—as epitomized by Jeremy Corbyn; and much more.
