That reality is now in full viewĬome January 2021, Professor Schwab’s Great Reset campaign will begin in earnest. Those who scoffed at claims that climate change was a stalking horse for a new world order, should think again. This is our best chance to instigate stakeholder capitalism’. As Schwab says, ‘The changes we have already seen in response to Covid-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible. Indeed, the 2021 annual summit will include members of the WEF’s thousands strong Global Shapers Community, youth crusaders located in 400 cities across the planet. However, unlike the New Deal, the Great Reset and the Green New Deal share a belief that the world is being governed by fundamentally wrong assumptions and that ‘dramatic transformation is possible with a change of mindset’.Īlready, Professor Schwab and his colleagues have started mobilising vast networks of left-wing activists. Roosevelt’s New Deal and the social and economic reforms which he introduced to lift the US out of the Great Depression. Much of the WEF’s agenda can be found in America’s radical Left’s Green New Deal, which addresses climate change and economic inequality. ‘In short,’ he says, ‘we need a Great Reset of capitalism.’ Governments will need to intervene more, (coerce) to ensure ‘better’ and ‘fairer outcomes’ from private investments.
At the centre of these multiple crises lies the tension between privilege and meritocracy. He points to uneven access to healthcare, education, economic opportunities and social progress as well as to growing inequality among and within nations and racial and ethnic groups. ‘All aspects of our societies and economies must be revamped, from education, to social contracts and working conditions.’ He labels this the ‘Great Reset’. The Forum’s founder and executive chair, Klaus Schwab, also believes ‘The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world’. The World Economic Forum, a Geneva-based non-profit foundation whose ranks include Prince Charles and other climate change crusaders like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg, together with the secretary general of the United Nations, the president of the European Central Bank, the secretary-general of the OECD, the managing director of the IMF, George Soros, world trade union leaders, chief executives of Big Tech and representatives of NGOs like Greenpeace and WWF, believes climate action must be top of the global agenda as we emerge from Covid-19. He argues we have ‘a golden opportunity to seize something good from the crisis’. But as Prince Charles puts it, ‘The threat of climate-change has been more gradual (than the pandemic) - but its devastating reality for many people and their livelihoods around the world, and its ever greater potential to disrupt, surpasses even that of Covid-19’. The response to Covid follows closely the approach taken by global warming activists. Much of the ‘expert’ advice relied upon has since been exposed as politically biased, not scientifically based. Then, when the spread threatened the capacity of global medical resources, health authorities modelled catastrophic scenarios to frighten citizens into submission and to justify enforceable, draconian lockdowns imposed without regard for basic rights or economic cost. First, despite clear evidence of Covid’s virulence, the World Health Organisation kowtowed to Beijing by playing down the risks of infection. Ironically, it was their gross incompetence, or deliberate intent, which gave them the present commanding heights. The Victorian government is legislating to that effect. No doubt they view individual freedom as an optional extra not an inalienable right and want their new powers to become a normal part of governing. Despite global death rates peaking last April and immunity building even without a vaccine, authoritarian leaders are clinging to their recently acquired powers. A lasting side-effect of Covid-19 is the universal growth of state power.
