Taking on Davos Man requires an understanding of the beast. Consider this book a guided safari through Davos Man’s unbounded terrain. We will track five key specimens—Bezos, Dimon, Benioff, Schwarzman, and Fink—while paying special attention to the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Sweden. This study does not fully encompass the world, focusing by design on the United States as the largest economy and the primary architect of (what is left of) the liberal democratic order, along with its leading postwar allies and an oft-celebrated social democratic paragon: Sweden.
