Summary
On the sidelines of the conference, Dave Merritt sat down with Thierry Mallaret. Thierry is an economist who has worked as an adviser for major investment banks and governments. He also founded and headed the Global Risk Network at WEF and for a number of years in succession, he conceived and put in place the program for the annual Davos meeting.
He'a also the author of Deaths at Davos, and now Deaths at Davos 2.0, dark satires of what's really going in within the WEF. They discuss how the drama of those novels are grounded in the reality of what happens at the annual conference, and why the World Economic Forum's focus has had to change to stay relevant.
