The Scottish independence debate has arguably been the most important political issue of the year, but the argument has been raging for longer than that, and will go on whatever the result of September's referendum. In this ebook, free to Prospect subscribers, you'll find essays and interviews from all sides of the argument featuring David Marquand, John Kerr, Neal Ascherson, Linda Colley, John Kay, Menzies Campbell and more, collected together for the first time. From John Kerr's January 2013 contribution, in which he lays out economic terms of the debate which remain largely unchanged, through to Neal Ascherson's strident and poetic call for a Yes vote from this July, the writers unpack and consider an enormous range of perspectives. Whether you're a raging nationalist, a staunch unionist, or anything in between, you'll find something here to challenge and interest you. Do be sure to let us know what you think on Twitter, too.
