Chris Lehmann

Chris Lehmann is the D.C. Bureau Chief for The Nation, an author, and a veteran editor known for his sharp political and cultural commentary. He has held senior editorial roles at The New Republic and The Baffler, shaping conversations on the American left. He is a graduate of the University of Rochesters history program.

Outside of his direct editorial duties, his personal passions appear to be deeply intertwined with his work. An avid reader of non-work-related fiction and a musician when time permits, he is primarily driven by intellectual debate and analyzing the intersection of capitalism, culture, and politics, which forms the core of his extensive writing.

He authored the book "The Money Cult," which investigates the historical entanglement of American capitalism and Christianity, from the Puritans to modern televangelists.
