subjects Virginia Postrel writes about Trends and Future, Consumer Behavior
Virginia Postrel's profile Virginia Postrel (pron. PAH-STRELL) is a contributing editor for The Atlantic and the author of The Substance of Style and The Future and Its Enemies.

She writes a monthly column on "Commerce & Culture" for The Atlantic and contributes columns to Forbes four times a year. Her influential weblog appears here.

Writing in Vanity Fair, Sam Tanenhaus described Postrel as "a master D.J. who sequences the latest riffs from the hard sciences, the social sciences, business, and technology, to name only a few sources," while Camille Paglia has called her "one of the smartest women in America."

For the past six years, she has been an economics columnist for The New York Times business section, with her last column appearing March 23, 2006. She publishes articles on cultural and economic topics in a wide range of publications.

Postrel is a popular speaker at business, design, and academic groups. She is represented by the Leigh Bureau and has spoken at a wide range of venues, including TED 2004, the World Luxury Congress, the Naval War College, the American Institute for Graphic Arts, the Mont Pelerin Society, PC Forum, Pop!Tech, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Urban Land Institute, and the Smithsonian Institute's Millennium on the Mall celebration. Her corporate speaking venues include Nike, Procter & Gamble, Target, Liz Claiborne, Sony, and IDEO.

From July 1989 to January 2000, Postrel was the editor of Reason magazine. Under her leadership, Reason was selected as a finalist for the National Magazine Awards, the industry's highest honor, for essays in 1993 and public interest journalism in 1996 and 1998. She founded Reason Online, the magazine's website, in 1995. During 2000 and 2001, she served as Reason's editor-at-large.

Postrel has been a columnist for Forbes (a position she resumed in late 2004), for its companion technology magazine Forbes ASAP, and for D Magazine, the Dallas city magazine.

She serves on the board of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. She has been a media fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Postrel has twice been a finalist in the commentary category of the Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism for her columns in Reason. In 1995, she received the Free Press Association's Mencken Award for Commentary for an editorial in Reason. In 2002, she received the Press Club of Dallas's Katie Award for commentary for a column in D Magazine.

Prior to becoming editor of the magazine in 1989, Postrel served as associate editor of Reason and, before that, as a reporter for Inc. and The Wall Street Journal.

Postrel graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University, with a degree in English literature. She is married to Steven Postrel and lives in Dallas.
