August’s full moon rises 🌕🌠 Named the 'Sturgeon Moon’ by Native Americans for plentiful fishing, & the 'Grain Moon' in Old English to mark the harvest. Tonight, it shares the sky with the Perseid meteor shower (peaking 12 Aug), so keep an eye out for shooting stars! Moonrise: 21:16*

A bright August full moon dominates the centre of the image against a dark night sky. The moon’s surface is detailed with various craters and dark patches, giving it a textured, three-dimensional appearance. The stark contrast between the illuminated moon and the dark clouds surrounding it creates a sense of calm and quiet solitude.

A dark night sky scattered with countless stars, with two bright meteor trails cutting through one vertical near the centre and another slanting in from the right edge. The horizon is lined with the silhouettes of trees and distant hills, faintly lit by a warm orange glow from below.

Every time you encourage a child to read a book, you will change their lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But child by child, book by book, we can change the world. Children who read become adults who think - and will build a world that’s better for EVERYONE. #books #reading #literacy

Yes indeed. on.ft.com/41iRhxq

FINANCIAL TIMES

We need a new, genuinely progressive economics with its eyes focused on the real world and its history, rather than abstract models built on unreality. This has begun to emerge in the past decade. There is a growing acceptance that whether tariffs are good or bad depends on context, that there is a difference between targeted and across-the-board tariffs, and that new forms of protectionism could reduce inequality or ecological destruction.
Much turns on whether economics can continue to evolve into a field of study that is, to borrow a line, genuinely true, sophisticated, and relevant to the modern world.
