Monocle, Issue 131 March 2020

Not the Harvard-produced satire of the ’60s, Monocle reports the parts of international affairs, policy, culture and social trends that are relevant to people also interested in furniture design, exotic travel and development theory. If this is you, then you’ve just found a new reason to get up in the morning. Newly created by the same team originally responsible for Wallpaper*, reading Monocle will make yourself more interesting. A cosmopolitan internationalist look at the world – a magazine for the thinking person.

In this issue: 
Why Austria? This smallish landlocked central European nation is quietly offering global lessons in everything from diplomacy to design (not to mention around the dining table). Our dedicated special takes an in-depth looking into everything from its Alpine attractions to entrepreneurial clout and hands-on craft culture. Our journalists unlock everything from how the Habsburg’s changed history to hospitality and fresh lessons for the rest of the world.
