The coronavirus crisis presents an opportunity for a “new kind of capitalism” and “great reset” of global economies, politics, and societies, according to World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab.
Schwab claims neo-liberalism is dead and with it traditional notions of economic capitalism.
In their place is a set of “Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics” the WEF says enables the world to progress under one set of overarching rules as drawn up by it, with “social justice” a key component of this brave new world.
He foresees the coronavirus crisis as too good an opportunity not to “re-evaluate sacred cows of the pre-pandemic system.”
He outlines his argument by pointing to just how serious the epidemic has been to the way we live now: Schwab writes:
No event since World War II’s end has had as profound a global impact as COVID-19. The pandemic has triggered a public health and economic crisis on a scale unseen in generations and has exacerbated systemic problems such as inequality and great-power posturing.
The only acceptable response to such a crisis is to pursue a “Great Reset” of our economies, politics, and societies. Indeed, this is a moment to re-evaluate the sacred cows of the pre-pandemic system, but also to defend certain long-held values. The task we face is to preserve the accomplishments of the past 75 years in a more sustainable form.
Schwab believes that if the Chinese coronavirus crisis has shown us anything, it is “that governments, businesses, or civil-society groups acting alone cannot meet systemic global challenges.”
In their stead, the WEF says the world should adopt more socialistic policies, such as wealth taxes, additional regulations and massive Green New Deal-like government programs.
Put simply, Schwab believes the time to “re-consider capitalism” has arrived.

I’m glad I’m old and never reproduced.
How about a “great reset” to get rid of abominations like the WEF?
Look how well “social justice” is working for Venezuela, Portland and San Francisco.
Sneak right in and screw up everything.
Got it.
Ohhh yes, new plans!
And the plan is for America to foot the bill for everyone and everything!
FORGET IT!!
Foot your own bills.
It is almost farcical how obvious the planscamdemic is a political vehicle to destroy capitalism and establish world government.
(nothing to see here; show me your tattoo)
LOL!
Seriously?? Was human nature at all thought of here? Because “socialism for the little people’s own good” has to be led by a politburo of elites and enforced by threat of violence. Socialism is against our human nature both kind instincts and malevolent. The only way the economic forum could want this is by thinking they will be the elite force removing freedom from people for their own good.
WEF has a video out with “predictions” for 2030. Prediction 1: “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”
I miss the old days when conspiracy theories were just theories..
Gee. His group tried fascism and how did that work out for him? Nearly embraced modified Marxism in the last couple of decades. How’s that working Klaus?
Why not try Merkle-like “socialism”. Milllions of Turks in Germany are going to love that, and Erdogan knows that’s how to penetrate Germany’s politics and influence them.
This guy should just shut up and vote for Trump, capitalism’s savior and all around good guy.
Apparently, back in the days, I spent too much time on AboveTopSecret forums. And to think all this time, I thought the Illuminati, etc. were conspiracy related made-up garbage...WEF is has just made those conspiracy related theories a reality. /s
Same here
I think some discreet “accidents” may be appropriate. Pick off these geniuses on at a time.
Why am I so unsettled and experiencing a cold, hard anger at reading that a German named Klaus Schwab telling me that he wants to change my government?
Better said.....No event since World War II’s end has had as profound a global impact as National Leaders shutting down their communities and businesses world wide.
25 Oct: El Pais Spain: Spanish prime minister approves new state of alarm with plans to keep it in place until May
The new decree gives regional governments the option to prohibit travel in and out of their territories unless it is justified, as well as imposing an obligatory nationwide curfew between 11pm and 6am
by CARLOS E. CUÉ
The government is introducing an obligatory curfew for the entire country from 11pm to 6am, with regional premiers having a margin of one hour to bring forward or back the curfew times. They will not, however, be able to scrap the measure altogether.
Regions will also have the possibility of restricting the entrance to and exit from their territories unless this is for essential reasons such as going to work or to get to the doctor. This would allow regions to close their borders should they have a neighboring territory that is particularly hard hit by the virus. This is an idea that had been floated in the past by the regions that border Madrid, but until now was impossible to implement...
This will be the second time in seven months that the coalition government – headed by the Socialist Party (PSOE) with junior partner Unidas Podemos – has made use of the emergency measure, the lowest of three that are set out by the Spanish Constitution...
