Monocle – Issue 150

Monocle magazine is a global look at current affairs, business, culture and design, with articles on politics and business in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, news on global culture from cultural centres like Tokyo, Paris and London, and featuring inspiring designs. Published 10 times a year and with many fans of it's style and content, Monocle provides a close look at everything going on in the world.

Monocle’s 150th issue features a special report on humour: what makes people laugh around the world, can politicians be funny and why do people keep telling jokes that could land them in jail? We feature a report from the ground in a changing Ukraine, put some fresh activewear through its paces and learn the value of a tongue-in-cheek attitude to advertising. Plus: where to eat, stay and explore this month.
