- Davos: much ado about nothing
  Posted by SoxFirst
  What does the annual schmoozefest at Davos actually achieve? Not much. All it does is give the world’s power brokers the chance to network and drum up business. And dress it up to make it look like they’re trying to save the world.

What I want to see now is the staunch capitalist’s response to such thinking. Maybe the Economist will have something (dismissive and venomous, as usual) to say about it…
