the magazine I think is pretty important because it serves an empty part of the US intellectual space, which is promoting an industrial / activist state attitude towards economics on the political right.

rather than being Trumpist if anything the point is to move people on the right away from unproductive culture war issues towards economics, at times they have straight up Marxist economic analysis on their site and manage to talk about it in a way that doesn't scare away Conservatives.

American Affairs is if anything guilty of the opposite of what you seem to imply. It's not trying to sell Trumpism by talking about OWS, it's trying to sell industrial policy to a conservative readership.
