Ad Busters is one the best magazine to critique the American consumerist ideal. With minimal text and pages of thought provoking images, collages, manipulated and redesigned ads to get you thinking about how consumerist practices are connected to global politics without being patronizing. I reveals some dirt on big corporations. I feel empowered to conserve more and a bit smarter.

Adbusters asks the questions that are hard to answer about our everyday choices. Sure, they're as lefty as they come, but you need to question the recieved wisdom of the corporate world and Adbusters does it with more intelligence than any other publication out there.
