The WEF puts a lot of work into creating outcomes that track with its philosophies; it is playing the long game and strategic decisions -are- being made at get-togethers like Davos. Potential Young Global Leaders are vetted and recruited, among other things.

Klaus Schwab, 2007: “What we are really proud of now, is the young generation. Like Prime Minister Trudeau, the President of Argentina, and so on. So we penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of this cabinet, or even more than half of this cabinet, are actually Young Global Leaders of the world.”

From the WEF Young Global Leaders website: "Our growing membership of more than 1,400 members and alumni... Aligned with the World Economic Forum’s mission, we seek to drive public-private co-operation in the global public interest."

I'd like to know exactly what Klaus and the WEF leadership consider to be "global public interest".

I've listened to several speeches from both him and his advisor Yuval Harari and at first glance Klaus's preference seems like some version of tightly controlled, top-down corporatism.

I found a number of statements made by Harari to be particularly disturbing, including one he made in a session (paraphrased here) that they don't need most of us (which begs the question who the "public" is in "global public interest"). If you hold that personal opinion, fine, but when you're closely allied with an organization whose stated intention is to reshape how the world works, that places the "opinion" into a different context, regardless of whether it could be acted upon or not. There's more from him about genetic superiority, blah blah... In my opinion, he's a scary guy.
