The disconnect between Davos rhetoric and reality

from Hub Podcasts

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss former prime minister Justin Trudeau and partner Katy Perry's attendance at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos and argue that the gathering exemplifies what's wrong with global leadership. They highlight that the elites who attend the forum bear responsibility for rising populism through their promotion of policies favouring corporate interests over ordinary citizens.
