The 2025 Daniel Singer Prize (& Runners-Up)

The 2025 Daniel Singer Prize of $10,000 was awarded to David Broder for his essay “Identity Crisis” published by Jacobin magazine last October. Broder is Jacobin’s Europe editor, a historian of French and Italian communism, and author of Mussolini’s Grandchildren: Fascism in Contemporary Italy.

Two runners-up also received prizes of $5,000 each: Meagan Day for “Welcome to Utopia, TX,” also published in Jacobin; and Anton Jäger for “Unpacking Working-Class Reaction,” published by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.

David and Meagan will be speaking at the Socialism Conference in Chicago on Saturday, July 5, on a panel hosted by the Daniel Singer Foundation, titled “The Rise of Right-Wing Politics in Working-Class Communities.”
