Davos - January 2025

On January 19th, 2026, the World Economic Forum kicks off its annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland. This year’s PR slogan is ‘a spirit of dialogue, ’ but if you’ve been paying attention to the documents they’ve been releasing and the agenda they’ve been signalling, what’s coming won’t be dialogue at all. It will be a rigid doctrine: a polished, top-down program that treats dissent as a bug, not a feature. The WEF isn’t some hidden secret society. It’s more like a high-end trade show for the people who already run the financial and political system: central bankers, heads of state, mega-corporation CEOs, institutional asset managers, and the policy architects who translate their interests into ‘global standards.’
