Jesse Walker

Jesse Walker (born September 4, 1970) is books editor of Reason magazine.[1] The University of Michigan alumnus has written the books The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory (HarperCollins, 2013) and Rebels on the Air: An Alternative History of Radio in America (NYU Press, 2001), and he maintains a blog called The Perpetual Three-Dot Column. His articles have appeared in a number of publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Salon, The New Republic, L.A. Times, L.A.

Views

Walker's writings display a definite libertarian bent, and he has cast a protest vote for the Libertarian Party's nominee in every presidential election of his adult lifetime except one, though "more often than not, I think they've put up a terrible candidate."[2]

Foreign policy

Walker was critical of the War on Terror[3] and opposed the Patriot Act.[4] He has stated that it is a myth that the U.S. pursued an "isolationist" foreign policy between World War I and World War II.[5]
