Sample Book Insights:
#1 The annual pilgrimage known as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has become an essential stop on the traveling circuit of the global elite. The Forum has turned itself into an indispensable stop on the traveling circuit of the global elite.
#2 The United States was the primary architect of the post–World War II liberal democratic order, which had worked magnificently for the sorts of people who flocked to Davos. But Trump was promising to blow up globalization, and many of the same forces that had put him in office were behind Brexit, an assault on another pillar of the global economy.
#3 Davos Man was not big on introspection. He was mostly annoyed that inequality was even a topic, given that it clashed with his favorite sort of tale: the ones where everyone lives happily ever after so long as the unfettered pursuit of wealth is sacrosanct.
#4 I was shocked at the contrast between the Forum’s noble packaging and its crude reality. I saw billionaires engage in simulations of the Syrian refugee experience before enjoying truffles at dinners thrown by global banks.
