Kleine Interviewschnipsel von mir. Take-away: die Lage ist düster, aber evtl sollte man das nicht an Auftritten beim WEF festmachen.
Ist das WEF dieses Jahr so politisch wie noch nie? | Nau.ch
Am diesjährigen WEF wird in Davos auffallend oft über Politik gesprochen. Die Wirtschaft verkommt am Weltwirtschaftsforum beinahe zum Randthema.
