About

37 Cents is an independent magazine of essays and argument. We publish writing on policy, geopolitics, ideas, and culture — pieces that take a position, argue it honestly, and trust the reader to push back.

The name is a promise about scale. No institution stands behind this magazine and no advertiser stands beside it, which leaves it free to be interesting.

37 Cents is edited from Berkeley, California. It was founded in 2026.
