The World Economic Forum & the Global Plutocracy
This episode examines the history and role played by the World Economic Forum as a socializing institution for the emerging global class of plutocrats. Over the years and decades, the WEF has facilitated the spread of a distinctly Western ruling class to the far reaches of the globe, notably to Russia, Eastern Europe, China and many of the modern 'emerging market' countries who send delegations to ingratiate themselves to the rulers of the Western world: the banks, corporations, international organizations, political and technocratic elites from North America and Western Europe. The WEF has continued to function in this way, since its founding in 1971 to its most recent meeting last week.
