A note from the editor
Our FT Weekend Festival is back on Saturday, September 6 at Kenwood House Gardens, London and online. I am eagerly looking forward to welcoming you back for our 10th edition!
Only a fool would try to predict what will dominate the headlines by September, but I can guarantee, as always, we will bring a host of fresh ideas and stimulating debates across politics, economics, literature, the climate and much more across our ten stages.
Do join us for tastings, performances and the chance to meet and talk to our writers and columnists - and I hope to meet you in person. For our global audience, we will stream sessions from our big ideas stage online and offer a catch-up service.
Register here to join us this September, and I look forward to welcoming you in person or online.
