With the crises of the current political and economic order deepening every day, Fabians know that new ideas are as important as ever. That’s why we’ve decided to begin publishing a quarterly print and online magazine, dedicated to envisioning a better future and how to get there.
Each edition is going to have a theme, with a portion of the magazine’s content set aside for exploring it in depth. To help us decide what themes we should work with for the first four editions, we want to hear from our members.
You’ll see ten options below. We’ve deliberately kept them fairly broad to allow our writers plenty of scope for interpretation. We invite you to help us out by choosing the one you would most like to see the new magazine focus on in its first year.
And if you're interested in writing on these topics or anything else, please don’t hesitate to pitch an idea to [email protected]

Q: Are there any other themes you would like to see an edition of the Quarterly Review focus on? A: Culture of integrity vs. culture of corruption (transparency, secrecy, rorts…) and the interplay between societal and political norms: does corruption in politics reflect a tolerance of cheating, or does it inspire it – or neither? Ok, this is perhaps more a specific article idea, but a topic that it would fit with would really be good.
