Or maybe Klaus Schwab is realizing the script from "Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann? You can read what the Economic Forum does in their publications. They were located in Davos as it is now the center of innovation in Switzerland. But let's see some facts about this city. It is the highest city above sea level in Europe. They were founded in the Middle Ages for German settlers exempt from taxes for the benefit of the landowner. The annual tax was paid by the city council. A hundred years ago it was a famous sanatorium for tuberculosis. In Thomas Mann's novel, the main character, a young German engineer, travels to Davos. He conducts discussions on all social and political attitudes of those years. Significantly, these are the 20s before World War II. Let's see what these symbols look like in relation to today's forum. A European city, towering over others on the continent - like the Olympus of ancient Greece, whose traditions the EU considers to be the beginning of Europe. Once tax-free residents, now they are talking about the world economy. The former sanatorium, where it has now been restored, is restoring order in the economy. Talks were held about all socio-political attitudes and currently representatives of all countries and global corporations are invited there. The main character was an engineer from Germany and the founder of the Economic Forum is an engineer and German, is it all a coincidence?
