In our Christmas edition, Prospect announced the results of our Public Intellectual of 2008 contest - won by General David Petraeus. Just for fun, we decided to mark the event with a special Christmas treat - some original Prospect public intellectual top trump cards. Enjoy, and have a happy Christmas from all at Prospect!
Thanks also to the New Humanist magazine - whose excellent religion trumps first gave us the inspiration for this idea.
