"Since its inception, the review has been an invaluable source of reasoned analysis and insight into critical issues of policy, economy, society, and contemporary culture. A proud record to carry forward into difficult times ahead."
- Noam Chomsky
"The biography of the review cannot be reduced to a formula: its experience so far has been too rich and too contradictory. It is up to date without being merely journalistic; it is scholarly but unscarred by citation-compulsion; and it is analytical about the long-term forces at work in politics rather than obsessed by the spume of the latest wavelet of manoeuvring and posturing. That's what I admire above all about NLR: its intellectual seriousness - its magnificently strenuous attempt to understand, to analyse, to theorise."
