Prospect Magazine

“Who are we?

Prospect is the UK’s outstanding monthly current affairs title—a home for fine writing, robust debate and considered reflection on the biggest issues of our time. Prospect has always been politically independent, with no party-political affiliation or agenda. It is owned and supported by the Resolution Group as part of its not-for-profit, public interest activities.

What does our journalism feature?

Edited by former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, we publish in print; on our website and app; and through our newsletters, podcasts and events. Our in-depth journalism spans politics, science, foreign affairs, economics, climate and the environment, philosophy and the arts.”

At the end of a year when billions voted and the far right thrived, Cas Mudde assesses the health of democracy and James Bloodworth explains the rise of polemicist Douglas Murray. In Ukraine, Jen Stout reports on the symbolic power of Europe’s first skyscraper, while in Milton Keynes, Deyan Sudjic finds a model for the future of UK towns. Also in the magazine, Esther Rantzen speaks on the assisted dying debate, and we present Prospect’s books of the year and the shortlist of 25 Top Thinkers for 2025.
