Description

It's been lampooned as a gathering of "the rich and the clueless." U2 lead singer Bono referred to its attendees as "fat cats in the snow." So what makes the World Economic Forum's annual conference in Davos so closely watched? Co-host Adam Tooze has been there twice and would have traveled to Switzerland again this year had the confab not been relegated to online-only status thanks to Omicron. Instead, he talks to Cameron Abadi about what really happens in Davos and how the super rich differentiate themselves from the run-of-the-mill aristocrats there.Also on the show: Part two of our lifecycle series, this one focusing on education.Save 15% on FP subscriptions.

Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
