510: World Economic Forum — curse or blessing?

The boys drink and review The Crisp from Sixpoint brewery, then discuss the World Economic Forum.

The WEF is a non-governmental organization based in Switzerland. It’s famous for its annual meeting in Davos.

It was founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971 as the European Management Forum, but changed to the WEF in 1987 and expanded its mission globally.

It’s mission is to “improve the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas.”

Their major initiatives include …
* The Great Reset
* Stakeholder capitalism
* The Fourth Industrial Revolution
* The Global Risks Report
* Net Zero and climate initiatives

But who elected them? Why do they have power? Who asked them to do this? To whom are they accountable?
