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.
Our 15 articles this month cover a lot of ground. An author under a pen name analyzes why Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s disastrous economic policies remain attractive for voters in the country. In a tour de force, the author explains that high inflation is damaging the Turkish economy. Yet slashing interest rates helps Turkish citizens in direct ways, by easing access to mortgages and commercial credit. Raising interest rates threatens easy credit and Turkey’s banks, and could trigger recession. This explains the president’s seemingly incongruous economic policy. Turkey’s history of dollarization also makes voters more receptive to Erdoğan’s rhetoric on foreign threats to the economy. The usual suspects—former Irish prime minister John Bruton, German economist Alex Gloy and retired US ambassador Gary Grappo—muse about history, economics and geopolitics. Others share their pearls of wisdom too. So, to make sense of June, read this monthly edition.
