Prospect Magazine  |  May 2020
In Prospect’s May issue: Prospect asks a series of important questions about the coronavirus pandemic. Tom Clark, Prospect’s editor, asks what the economic fallout of the crisis might be and what the long-term effects of today’s financial decisions might be. Philip Ball explores the search for a vaccine—probably the only way to stop the virus in it’s tracks. Also, John Kay and Mervyn King explore the unknown unknowns of the virus, suggesting there is a lot that we don’t know about the virus—and a lot that we don’t even know that we don’t know.
Elsewhere: Cal Flyn explores the diminishing language barrier between man and beast as scientific experiments take humanity closer to cross-species communication than ever before. Anatol Lieven argues that climate change is the most important long-term challenge to humans all over the world and the most practical way to find a solution to the challenges it poses is at the level of the nation state—rather than through international agreement.
