With global economy running itself (where it is going, nobody has a clue), bottoms up organizations are forming to solve local and global needs, and states being pushed to margins, you can't help but get the sense that Davos is hideously anachronistic -- from a seemingly long ago time when big ideas, big people, and big states ruled the world.
Because import quotas are irrelevant? Because the market system has been liberated from the price system? Because global guerrillas, infinitely resourceful, cooperative, and altruistic beings, don't pay attention to material incentives anyway?
You have a nice one-sentence post there, but it makes no sense without some explanation.

Nope. It says what I wanted it to say, nothing more, nothing less.
