There’s just something about corporate chieftains meeting at a ski resort to save the world that seems to get people’s backs up. It could be the jargon – among the buzzwords at last year’s Davos conference was “mattering”, which I’m afraid is a noun. But gen Z may be on to something – perhaps after all you can defend Davos from a progressive standpoint. The social pressure created by Davos, annoying as it is, can be a force for good. Social pressure from peers is a powerful force.
