This July 2012 issue of The Weekly Standard explored the transformation of capitalism in the digital age through Jonathan V. Last's feature on microtasking and the future of work. The magazine devoted substantial coverage to the Supreme Court's Obamacare decision, with contributions from Jeffrey H. Anderson, Robert F. Nagel, and Irwin M. Stelzer examining the ruling's implications for the Constitution, small government principles, and the subsidies system. Additional articles addressed foreign policy concerns including John Bolton's analysis of failed Iran negotiations, Jeffrey Dressler's investigation into the Haqqani network designation, and broader commentary on American power and religious freedom in foreign policy.
