The Times has an interesting article on the invitees to this year's WEF--who's hot (Bono) and who's not (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) in the global money-power scene. As Klaus Schwab (the man who started and continues to run the WEF) notes, “We noticed there was undue publicity given to the attendance of those celebrities at the last meeting,” “We have to be careful that we are not hijacked by the celebrity world.”
On a more serious note, if you want to follow the WEF in detail, check out the Davos Conversation for more detail than you can possibly digest.
