Virginia Postrel
Author & Columnist
Writers & Pundits
In a dynamic, decentralized system of individual choice and responsibility, people do not have to trust any authority but their own.
Virginia Postrel is a cultural thinker and author known for her clear-eyed writing on how progress and human flourishing emerge from the bottom up, not through top-down control. Drawing on economics, history, social philosophy, and aesthetics, she examines how everyday choices, market dynamics, and cultural forces interplay to forge modern life and trace the dynamics shaping what comes next. A former editor of Reason magazine, her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Bloomberg Opinion, and The New York Times.
Sidebar: In The Power of Glamour, Postrel argues that glamour is more than surface appeal. It is a powerful form of projection that reveals our deepest hopes and ideals. Rather than deceiving, it directs us by showing us who we want to become.
