> Davos Man was originally used by the Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington in a 2004 essay describing a new class of enriched globalists who are only loyal to themselves.

#DavosMan !? I'm suprised #SamuelHuntington came up with something that doesn't make me retch: like South Africa as a "satisfied society"... #DanielWarner

「世界社会フォーラム」。

経済のグローバリゼーションをすすめる「ダボス会議」（世界経済フォーラム）に対抗するためのもので、だからこそ「もうひとつの世界は可能だ」（Alter-globalization）なんですよね。

最近、「ダボス会議」について書かれた本『ダボスマン』を少しずつ読んでいます。

少数の並外れたお金持ちの経営者たちによって世界経済が左右されるという傾向は、20年前よりもさらに強まっており、そういった資本主義の寡頭的支配ではない、搾取－非搾取ではない「もうひとつの世界」をいろんな国の仲間とともに指向していくことの必要性がさらに強くなっていると感じてます。

サッチャーは「社会なんてない」と言ったそうですが、なんでも民営化すればいいという彼女の考えが間違いだったことは、今でははっきりしています。
「社会的なもの」socialを消そうとしても、そんなことは無理なのです。

& in #billionaire news, they’re just like us 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

To read more about him, highly recommend #DavosMan & #Deluxe How Luxury Lost its Luster, both written by my favorite kind of authors, investigative journalist #DanaThomas #PeterSGoodman

@olireiv I wouldn’t allow my spouse to invest in #FossilFuel during the pandemic & we would have made a small fortune had he.. it’s an icky way to make money karma or no

You would enjoy #DavosMan if you haven’t read it yet😱

@PacificNic Also Pfizer IS a smart financial investment w/the mass Rx for diabetes & HBP people as young as children will need, but can’t do it b/c I do everything humanly possible to avoid EVER being forced to take a Pfizer product

But sleeping like a baby is priceless🖤

Indeed we have. We see who matters, #davosman

"People on social media have shared posts questioning why there was a rapid, multinational and multi-day search for the Titan, which disappeared on June 18, while the distressed migrant vessel languished at sea for hours before capsizing"

@Gdac
i understand it’s not the fault of most people b/c #fossilFuel #government #capitalism #media scared of #economy #DavosMan but there IS a better way

we had an opportunity for a better way but everyone wants easy
nothing worth having is easy in my experience & tbh i feel like 150 yrs old yet simultaneously 12 so…

#karma is a thing & don’t mean it in a religious way; #psychology is being ignored by scientist but wielded by those in politics & they can f£%k all the way off🌈

You never know what’s in people’s #stockPortfolios #sponsors #etc

Scott Gottlieb, who I actually kind of liked, sits on #pfizer board

Money, power & fame make people do crazy things. I’m not anti-capitalist per se.. but #DavosMan #greed is literally & actually killing us all

#followTheMoney

Its January, and #DavosMan is working up for his annual trip the #WorldEconomicForum.... So I'm looking forward to:

Speeches from the lucky elite explaining how their life of privilege can be an example to all;

Business leaders explaining how their #businessmodel is innovative & exciting (when in reality it looks like a return to C19th #capitalism);

and:
Bono (or similar 'right on' music celebrity) telling us business is the (new?) rock & roll

Yup more delusional bollocks on its way!

@steven
Idk why I’m like this, probs the influence of my late #capitalist dad who survived the Korean War, but I’ve always & forever noticed price increases at grocery stores even if it’s just $.30

My local store has gone crazy. Grains that were $7~ are $10
Canned good from $3~now $6
All over-night

In the US #hedgefunds have purchased large amounts of #rentalProperty when interest rates were at <2% probs

#DavosMan is an #incredible read altho doesn’t touch on these particular #topics #perSe
