In Davos, dialogue still mattersIf you need a measure of just how bad inflation has become, the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos can provide it. There is the "big Davos" and its high-minded, somewhat abstract chin stroking involving presidents, finance ministers, and CEOs. They are the micro-issues that underpin the macro issues being dealt with at the other, "big Davos" -- recession, climate change, food security, and so on. In a way, Davos is rather like a large container ship. In a world starved of dialogue, the expensive conversations taking place in Davos may just be worth the bill.
