Under editor Alan Rusbridger, Prospect is a cradle of ideas, reflective writing and thoughtful debate. If information today can feel like a cacophony, Prospect feels like a still voice of calm and a melting pot of ideas. Prospect is politically independent with writing that challenges you and lets you make up your own mind. As well as articles on the economy, politics, current affairs and society, Prospect magazine features diverse lifestyle and interest pieces on culture, science, philosophy and the arts.
What are the implications of cancel culture? Why was the West doomed to lose in Afghanistan? Is it time to waive Big Pharma patents? Is this the end of gender as we know it? Have your questions debated, explored and answered with a Prospect magazine subscription.
Sharpen your mind and get an informed view on current affairs with a Prospect magazine subscription today! Here’s what you can expect delivered to your door every month:
• The quiet, rational voice you need to make sense of a chaotic world
• Independent writing that challenges you but doesn’t tell you how to vote
• Rare access to thinkers that seek to find common ground rather than cancel each other
• A place where discerning and engaged readers can have their say
"Political writing for grown-ups, well beyond the party political playpen... Europe's outstanding political and cultural monthly"

"Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what's happening, rather than having their prejudices confirmed. Prospect has all the important debates."
Diane Coyle, economist
