This is a decisive moment in our world history and this is a decisive question for our time: Who and What has Broken the World and Who and What will fix it?
The world and our lives are in a constant state of flux and chaos, because of the dominance of a bankrupt and disgraced economic ideology: Neoliberalism—characterised by deregulation, privatization, marketisation, monetisation, austerity, and free-market fundamentalism, devoid of any human and spiritual values and concerns, resulting in human suffering and environmental degradation.
Time to Rethink
Dear Davos participants, you began your dialogue in 1971 and this is the fruits of your annual dialogue meeting in 2026

100s of millions of your fellow-human beings are starving, homeless, no health care, no medication, no education, no running clean water, no dignity, no hope: Is this right? Do you know what it means to be human? Perhaps a bit less greed on your part, could be a good start?
N.B. This Blog, originally posted in October 2024, under the title of ‘These are what I have learned from 45 years of teaching economics‘ was updated on 19 January 2026, to coincide with the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, with its main theme of ‘A Spirit of Dialogue’.
