Everyone at Davos this year really wants you to know that the corporate world is cleaning up its act. Woke capitalism, in short, was the dominant motif at Davos 2020. Its visual symbol was a group of teenage girls and boys who were invited to Davos as “change-makers,” a gang of Greta-Thunbergs-in-training. Benioff himself declared the next day that “capitalism as we’ve known it is dead,” and called for higher taxes on the wealthy. Companies, the manifesto says, must pay their fair share of taxes; treat suppliers and workers well; accept fair competition; and have “zero tolerance for corruption.”
