Fair Observer Monthly is a chance for you to sit down, look back and think about the month past. A month lasts 28 to 31 days, a suitably appropriate time to take stock of the world. We publish daily on our website and we select some of our best articles every month in our e-magazine. We will give you context and multiple perspectives on issues that matter. We will inform and educate you. Fair Observer Monthly does what we promise: make sense of the world.
In August, we continue to cover stories from around the world. Caleb Mills tells us about Vietnamese politician Tô Lâm’s history of authoritarian interventions. Ved Pant takes a look at the state of Botswana’s economy and democracy. Mark MacCarley shares a firsthand account of Nagorno-Karabakh, the ethnically Armenian breakaway region of Azerbaijan.
Global equities markets had a turbulent month. Alex Gloy explains how the changing monetary policy of Japan’s central bank sent shockwaves through the international financial system. Imran Khalid warns of indicators that point to an oncoming recession for the US.
We also take a look at media and media consumption. Ranjani Iyer Mohanty explains how a book’s foreword can enrich one’s reading experience. Ellis Cashmore dives into why we are so fascinated with stories of celebrities’ dating lives. William Softky explains how screens are detrimental to a growing child’s mind.
