More

Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Yglesias vs. Beinart

By Matthew Yglesias

Jul 11 2008, 11:04 AM ET Comment

I'm doing a debate/discussion with Peter Beinart about the future of liberal foreign policy that you can read in progress hosted at the Progressive Book Club.

The Progressive Book Club, if you haven't heard, is both a book club for progressives and also a club for progressive books. If you get my meaning. A much-needed new institutions that should help get progressive ideas out there in the mainstream, support progressive authors, and hopefully give readers something worth reading. If you join, you get discounts on books (including Heads in the Sand of course) and so forth so check it out.
