Prospect Magazine

Prospect has acquired a reputation as the most intelligent magazine of current affairs and cultural debate in Britain. Both challenging and entertaining, the magazine seeks to make complex ideas accessible and enjoyable by commissioning the best writers, editing them vigorously and packaging their work in a well designed and illustrated magazine.

Want to save the NHS? Don’t copy the German model, says Alexander Menden: an insurance scheme is no way to heal the health service.
