 In the course of this development the magazine was renamed "Socialist Review" in 1978, meanwhile absorbing the short-lived "Marxist Perspectives".Among the magazine's editors have been Eli Zaretsky, David Plotke, Jeffrey Escoffier, Leslie Kauffman, and David Trend.Because the magazine had been founded in San Francisco with an editorial collective that included many University of California at Berkeley graduate students, it showed an openness to theory that was not universally shared by magazines on the left in the 1970s.
