American Prospect, The

VOTER WORK

The Prospect's articles generate debate, further ideas, and set agendas. We explore and challenge the conservative views of policy and politics that have been so seductive in this era. Political leaders and journalists look to the Prospect to see what smart, resolute liberals have to say. The American Prospect does not back political candidates, nor does it attempt to achieve unanimity or even consistency among its writers. It seeks to provide a forum for working through the heated controversies and hard choices that vex its editors and writers as much as other Americans.

DESCRIPTION

The aim of The American Prospect magazine is to contribute to a renewal of America's democratic traditions by presenting a practical and convincing vision of liberal philosophy, politics and public life. We publish articles for the general reader that attempt to break through conventional understanding and creatively reframe public questions. Ours is a magazine of public ideas, firmly committed to a belief in public improvement. America can do much good, and it can do much better.

The American Prospect was launched in 1990. The Prospect is available on newsstands, by subscription and online. It is published by The American Prospect Inc., an independent nonprofit organization established by the magazine's founders. We are also proud to host and produce Moving Ideas, an online consortium of more than 125 progressive policy organizations. The American Prospect does not back individual political candidates, nor does it attempt to achieve unanimity or consistency among its writers. The magazine, however, generally reflects moral and political commitments that are broadly identified with the liberal and progressive traditions in America.
