It’s not just the concentration of wealth that we ought to question, it’s also the concentration of power and influence that such wealth brings.

World Economic Forum: Davos 2018 will have as much effect as all the others before.

More than 2500 "World leaders", civil servants, business leaders, sports personalities and show business stars are in Davos for the World Economic Forum. There will be much hot air and rhetoric, long winded "speeches", furtive meetings in the shadowy corridors of the 5 Star hotels and lavish conference centres of the resort and no doubt, numerous very expensive and very rich, lunches, banquets and "working dinners" all probably fuelled by the best wines, liqueurs and brandies. The net result of all this extravagance will be the same as all the other World Economic Forum conferences over the past years. The people of the world, particular in the Third World countries will see no benefits or change in their circumstances. There will still be abject poverty in too many regions. There will still be contaminated water poisoning children everyday. There will still be the disastrous effects of climate change growing more evident as each day passes. The effects of war in numerous places will still exacerbate the growing refugee crisis and the arms manufactures will still grow fat on their blood stained profits.
All the resolutions, agreements, communiques and rhetoric from past Davro Conferences and all the others like them, have produced only words. These conferences promise mountains , but produce only molehills.
At the end of the day, we may be excused for recognising that most, if not all, these extravaganzas are nothing more than glorified "jollies" for the benefit of the attendees and their respective entourages.
