The December 2024 issue of the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of NSW was published online on 23 December and is packed with interesting reading for Christmas and the New Year.

Highlights of the issue include papers derived from this year’s events program, notably:

• John Bell — ‘Shakespeare on politics: what can we learn’
• Roy Green— ‘Productivity: what it is and why it matters’
• Ken Henry — ‘Inequality in Australia’
• Julie Inman Grant — ‘How a single letter changed the world: W x 3 — the World Wide Web we weaved’

Recordings of these events are available in the Events 2024 playlist on our YouTube channel.

Season Greetings to all members and friends of the Society
