NEW INTERNATIONALIST

Every issue we invite two experts to debate a hot button issue in The Argument, and then invite you to join the conversation online – we’ll read all your comments and select the best to print next issue. (We’d prefer you to use your real name, but would love to hear what our readers have to say either way.) If you can’t comment, then you can simply vote in our poll, which you’ll find partway down the debate.
