DAVOS : Le Forum de l'Économie Mondiale - YouTube
Channel: Stupid Economics
[0]
In order to replace the SpeedEco ' we've decided to be more focused on what's in the news
[3]
to be more responsive to what we are frequently asked about.
[6]
However, we still do not have a name for this format
[7]
so if you have any idea do not hesitate.
[9]
You've probably already heard about the Davos forum,
[11]
the meeting at the top, for both ways
[13]
The Davos Forum or the World Economic Forum of its real name is an year meeting
[17]
At the end of January, it gathered thousands of the most influential people in the world.
[22]
In 2018 there has been 3000 participants
including 1900 business leaders, 70 governors
[27]
and during a short week the participants discuss; organize business meetings
[31]
attend to conferences or ski.
[33]
Why not !
[34]
This meeting has been the place of few important events but it is also very criticized.
[38]
and each year we can ask ourselves:
[39]
What is the real influence of this type of event?
[41]
The foundation that organizes this forum tells that its mission is
[44]
to improve the world state but a presentation video tells us a little more things
[56]
At its creation in 1971 the event was called the European Symposium of Management
[61]
it was actually a conference meant to host
[63]
400 business leaders to talk about new management manners
[67]
and then also to find solutions for European companies
[70]
can catch up with the advanced American firms.
[73]
Since this event has evolved and is no longer limited to Davos
[75]
it's a format actually!
[77]
There are repeat lectures in different parts of the world
[79]
There is an economic forum for Latin America,
[81]
several on the African continent
[82]
and then others are reserved for the leaders of tomorrow.
[84]
The Davos event begins to gain importance in the 1980s
[87]
with the arrival of political figures and with them come the most memorable moments of the forum.
[102]
These events have propelled the reputation of this event of specialized conferences
[105]
to the media meeting that we know today
[119]
Then it's because the Davos forum is a symbol.
[122]
On the side of critics the meeting at the same place, at the same time elites
[125]
illustrates the will of the capitalists who wish to pass over the decisions of the states.
[129]
Davos is seen as the center of "hyper-liberalism" and "single thought",
[132]
On the side of the participants and the organizers the speech is necessarily different
[147]
We talk about magic and then change the world through exchanged ideas, best practices or corporate social responsibility
[175]
Branko Milanović, an economist specializing in the study of inequalities to him another speech while talking about guests:
[189]
At first glance it looks like a paradox but it may not be a
[192]
and especially that it can explain the many self-congratulations that take place during the Davos forum.
[197]
Research in recent psychology explains:
good behavior in a context can justify
[202]
one more mediocre in another
[204]
and those who have done good recently might feel
[206]
immunized by the negative results of a bad action
[209]
a bit later.
[210]
In the end, the Davos forum may be nothing more than watching "TED Talks"
[214]
and arrange appointments by drinking champagne at the edge of a ski slope.
[217]
There are undoubtedly good intentions, interesting ideas,
[220]
but once the forum is over there is nothing!
[222]
No institution to turn ideas into action
[224]
