Prospect

Prospect is a British monthly magazine specializing in politics, economics, and current affairs, founded in 1995 by David Goodhart, a former Financial Times journalist, alongside Derek Coombs, a ex-Conservative MP.^[1]^[2] It publishes long-form journalism, essays, and analysis on major global and domestic issues, positioning itself as an independent platform for debate free from party affiliation.^[1]^[3] The publication has featured contributions from prominent intellectuals across the political spectrum, emphasizing rigorous examination of policy and ideas, though independent assessments identify a center-left editorial tilt, evident in its consistent opposition to Brexit and critical coverage of conservative figures like Boris Johnson.^[4] This orientation aligns with broader patterns of left-leaning bias observed in much of the UK's intellectual and media establishment, where empirical scrutiny of policy often intersects with progressive priors on issues like European integration and climate policy.^[4] Owned since 2016 by the Resolution Foundation—a think tank focused on economic inequality—Prospect maintains a print and digital presence, with a reputation for thoughtful, non-sensationalist commentary amid a landscape dominated by faster-paced outlets.^[1]

Definitions and concepts

Etymology and primary meanings

The English noun prospect derives from the Latin prospectus, the past participle of prospicere ("to look forward"), a compound of pro- ("forward") and specere ("to look" or "to see").^[5] It first appeared in late Middle English around 1400–1450 as prospecte, denoting an extensive view or outlook, with senses of anticipation or forward-looking expectation emerging by the early 15th century.^[6] The verb form, meaning to search or explore (especially for minerals or opportunities), developed later, around the 1840s in contexts like land surveying for resources.^[5] As a noun, prospect primarily refers to a wide or extensive view, such as a landscape vista.^[7] It also denotes anticipation or expectation of a future event, often with connotations of hope or apprehension, as in "the prospect of economic recovery."^[7] Another core sense is a potential opportunity, chance, or source of gain, including possibilities for success based on current indicators.^[8] In commercial contexts, it signifies a potential customer, client, or buyer likely to yield profit.^[8] These meanings emphasize forward orientation, aligning with the word's Latin roots in visual and anticipatory "looking ahead."^[7]

Prospect theory in behavioral economics

Prospect theory, developed by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, provides a descriptive framework for how individuals evaluate potential gains and losses under conditions of risk, challenging the normative assumptions of expected utility theory.^[9] Published in their seminal 1979 paper "Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk," the theory posits that decisions are made relative to a reference point rather than absolute outcomes, leading to systematic deviations from rationality predicted by classical models.^[9] Unlike expected utility theory, which assumes risk aversion over gains and uses objective probabilities, prospect theory incorporates behavioral elements observed in experiments, such as framing effects where equivalent choices yield different preferences based on presentation.^[9] The theory's core is an S-shaped value function that captures reference dependence: outcomes are coded as gains or losses relative to a neutral reference point, typically the status quo. For gains, the function is concave, reflecting risk aversion—individuals prefer a sure gain over a gamble with equal expected value, as demonstrated in experiments where participants favored $3,000 for sure over an 80% chance of $4,000.^[9] For losses, the function is convex, indicating risk-seeking behavior—people opt for a gamble to avoid a certain loss, such as preferring a 80% chance to lose $4,000 over a sure loss of $3,000.^[9] The function is steeper for losses than gains, embodying loss aversion, where the pain of losing a given amount exceeds the pleasure of gaining the same amount, often quantified by a coefficient of approximately 2.25 in empirical fits.^[10] Decision-making under prospect theory proceeds in two phases: an initial editing phase where individuals simplify prospects by framing, eliminating dominated options, and perceiving common elements; followed by an evaluation phase applying the value function and a probability weighting function.^[9] The weighting function distorts objective probabilities, overweighting small probabilities (e.g., treating a 1% chance as higher) and underweighting moderate to high ones, which explains phenomena like the common ratio effect where preferences reverse when probabilities scale proportionally.^[11] This non-linear weighting contributes to risk-seeking in low-probability loss domains and risk aversion in high-probability gain domains, supported by choice data from hypothetical gambles in Kahneman and Tversky's experiments.^[9] Empirical support derives primarily from controlled experiments revealing inconsistencies with expected utility, such as the reflection effect where risk attitudes invert across gain-loss domains, and field observations like equity premium puzzles or insurance purchases despite unfavorable odds. A 2020 global study across 53 countries confirmed loss aversion's robustness in diverse populations, aligning with prospect theory predictions over expected utility.^[12] Later refinements, including cumulative prospect theory in 1992 by Tversky and Kahneman, addressed probability weighting for rank-dependent outcomes using cumulative rather than separate transformations, improving fits to data from lotteries and insurance choices.^[11] Critics note limitations, including the theory's primarily descriptive nature without deep psychological mechanisms for reference point selection or editing rules, and weaker applicability to experienced decision-makers who may deviate less from rationality.^[13] Some meta-analyses question the universality of loss aversion parameters, finding variability across contexts, though core effects persist in lab settings.^[14] Despite these, prospect theory remains foundational in behavioral economics, influencing models of financial behavior, policy design, and Kahneman's 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.^[15]

Prospecting in resource extraction and business development

Prospecting in resource extraction refers to the initial phase of identifying and evaluating potential deposits of minerals, hydrocarbons, or other natural resources to determine their commercial feasibility. Traditional mineral prospecting relied on manual techniques such as panning, where prospectors sifted gravel and sediment from streams to isolate heavy particles like gold nuggets, a method dominant in 19th-century rushes like California's 1849 Gold Rush that drew over 300,000 seekers and yielded initial outputs of about 2.5 million ounces annually.^[16] Contemporary mineral exploration integrates remote sensing via satellite imagery and aerial surveys with ground-based geochemical analysis, which detects trace elements in soil or water samples signaling underlying ore concentrations, often achieving detection limits below 1 part per million for indicators like copper or uranium. Geophysical methods, including magnetic and gravity surveys, map subsurface density variations to pinpoint anomalies, with success rates for viable discoveries typically under 1 in 1,000 initial targets explored.^[17]^[18] In oil and gas sectors, prospecting centers on seismic reflection surveys that emit acoustic waves and record echoes to construct 3D subsurface models, revealing trap structures like anticlines where hydrocarbons accumulate; these techniques, refined since the 1920s, now incorporate full-waveform inversion for resolutions down to 10 meters in depth. Exploratory drilling follows promising seismic data, with core sampling providing direct evidence of reservoir porosity and permeability, though dry well rates exceed 70% globally due to geological uncertainties.^[19]^[20] Business development prospecting adapts this exploratory paradigm to sales, defined as the targeted identification and qualification of leads matching predefined buyer criteria to foster revenue opportunities. Core strategies involve compiling databases from public records, firmographics, and behavioral signals—such as recent funding rounds for B2B tech sales—followed by personalized outreach via email sequences or calls, with effective campaigns converting 2-5% of initial contacts into meetings. Tools like CRM systems enable prioritization by scoring leads on fit and intent, mirroring resource assays in filtering low-yield pursuits.^[21]^[22] The analogy between resource and sales prospecting underscores shared principles of high-volume screening amid probabilistic outcomes, akin to gold panning where vast sediment yields rare flakes; sales literature frequently invokes this, noting that top performers contact 50-100 prospects weekly to secure 1-2 qualified deals, paralleling mining's low hit rates but emphasizing persistence and data-driven refinement over luck.^[23]

Australia

Prospect is a suburb in the City of Blacktown, located 32 kilometres west of Sydney's central business district in New South Wales.^[61] One of Sydney's earliest developed areas, it derives its name from Prospect Hill, a volcanic outcrop where early European observers gained broad "prospects" or views of the surrounding Cumberland Plain.^[62] The hill was a site of initial land grants to emancipated convicts starting in November 1791, marking some of the first freehold allocations beyond Sydney Cove.^[63] Key landmarks include the Prospect Reservoir, a heritage-listed structure integral to Sydney's early water supply system, and nearby recreational facilities such as Raging Waters Sydney water park.^[64] In South Australia, Prospect serves as both a suburb and the administrative seat of the City of Prospect local government area, positioned 5 kilometres north of Adelaide's central business district.^[65] The city spans 7.8 square kilometres on Kaurna land and recorded a population of 22,272 residents in the 2021 Australian census.^[66]^[67] Established in the 1830s following European settlement, the area features a mix of heritage buildings, parks, and commercial strips along Prospect Road, with proximity to Adelaide's northern suburbs facilitating residential and business growth.^[66]

Canada

Prospect is a coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Nova Scotia, Canada, within the Halifax Regional Municipality.^[68] Located approximately 22 kilometres southwest of Halifax along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, it features rugged rocky cliffs, serene fishing harbors, and pristine natural landscapes that support recreational activities such as hiking and birdwatching.^[69]^[70] The community was established in 1754 by primarily Irish and English fishermen seeking opportunities in the region's abundant marine resources, enduring harsh maritime conditions including strong winds and salt spray over subsequent centuries.^[71] Its economy historically centered on fishing, with ongoing ties to coastal industries, though today it attracts visitors for its scenic trails like the Polly Cove Loop and High Head Trail, which offer views of the ocean and local flora.^[72] Nearby related settlements include Lower Prospect and Prospect Bay, both part of the same peninsula and sharing similar coastal characteristics.^[73] Canada's official geographical naming authority recognizes Prospect as a designated place name, underscoring its status among smaller unincorporated communities in the province.^[73] While minor historical references exist to hamlets named Prospect in Ontario's Lanark County townships, such as in Beckwith, these are not active contemporary communities and lack the prominence of the Nova Scotia locale.^[74]
