The global winners here in Switzerland aren’t so sure they’re up to the task of running the world anymore.
DAVOS, Switzerland — Populist movements around the world, left and right, disagree in detail but are united around one big idea: The political and economic elites running modern societies are very powerful people who know what they are doing.
What they are doing is often bad — greedy, exploitative, short-sighted — but they are doing it with purpose and confident control.
Let there be pitchforks!
