Welcome to Neo, a classical liberal magazine focusing on politics, society and the future; a magazine for intelligent people interested in a new and better arguments; for those who wish to be both validated and challenged; for those interested in influencing global events and changing the world and those seeking an alternative to the monolithic perspectives offered by the mainstream media.

Within the pages of Neo you will find investigative journalism, interviews, essays, roundtable discussions, political satire and photographic reportage, all covering the issues facing Sweden and the world. Our writers pose challenging questions and introduce our readers to exiting places and people, while avoiding the anecdotal and cliché, relying instead on fact and unique insight.

Nor is Neo afraid to take firm positions on important issues or publish provocative, heterodox voices. Our magazine is modelled on the Anglo-Saxon tradition of journalism, in which a stark difference is drawn between news and views.

At Neo, we believe in the value of liberal democracy, individual responsibility, personal freedom, human rights, pluralism and free enterprise. At Neo, we like free markets and free people.

It is our ambition to present readers with the best of the most important, from Scandinavia and beyond. In order to introduce new ideas and voices to the Swedish public, Neo both translates and solicits original content from some of the world’s most important and influential thinkers, like Weekly Standard senior editor and Financial Times columnist Christopher Caldwell, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author Anne Applebaum, the Iranian journalist Amir Taheri and the one and only: Christopher Hitchens. Closer to home, our readers are challenged by writers like Stockholm-native Johan Norberg, author of In Defence of Global Capitalism and Björn Lomborg, author of the influential—and controversial—book The Sceptical Environmentalist.

Neo publishes six (paper) editions per year and operates a constantly updated website, featuring our multi-author blog. To complement the print edition, we also arrange a wide array of seminars and debates to gather people who share our curiosity and ideas.

Welcome to our gallery of ideas.
