1. You Weren’t Invited
Davos is illustrative of the chasm between the economic realities of people, localities and markets and the grand design of a group of borderless elites who believe that they can shape economic conditions to increase wealth and profitability across the globe. This is not an inference, as you can see from their own literature:
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters remains the foremost creative force for engaging the world’s top leaders in collaborative activities to shape the global, regional and industry agendas at the beginning of each year. For over four decades, the World Economic Forum’s mission – improving the state of the world – has driven the design and development of the Annual Meeting programme.
Unlike libertarian views on global free markets, the folks attending Davos see markets and economies as malleable and controllable. The annual conference will undoubtedly spur government programs and policies across the globe that are intended to interfere with true free markets to achieve ends approved by consensus of Davos attendees. These programs and policies will ultimately affect your behavior in the marketplace. It’s a little like taxation without representation—it directly concerns you, but your input is unwelcome.
