About the authors
-
Thierry is the co-founder and main author of the Monthly Barometer, a succinct predictive analysis exclusively provided to private investors and some of today's most influential opinion and decision-makers. He was until 2011 a senior partner at IJ (Informed Judgement) Partners, an investment boutique for ultra-high-net-worth individuals based in Geneva, and prior to that managing partner at Rainbow Insight, an advisory boutique which he founded, providing tailor-made intelligence to investors. Previously, Thierry founded and headed the Global Risk Network at the World Economic Forum, a network that brings together top opinion and policymakers, CEOs and academics to look at how global issues will affect business and society in the short and long term. For a number of years in succession, Thierry conceived and put in place the programme for Davos and spoke at global, industry and regional events. His other professional experience includes: investment banking (as a Chief Economist and Strategist of a major Russian investment bank and as an Economist at the EBRD in London), think tanks and academia (both in New York and Oxford) and government (with a three-year spell in the Prime Minister's office in Paris).
Thierry has written several business and academic books, and has published four novels (two of which under a pen-name). In addition, he is a public speaker with some of the world’s leading agencies. He also sits on several advisory boards.
He was educated at the Sorbonne and Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris and at St. Antony's College, Oxford. He holds two MAs (in Economics and History) and a PhD in Economics.
With his English wife Thierry has four daughters.

Professor Klaus Schwab (1938, Ravensburg, Germany) is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. In 1971, he published Modern Enterprise Management in Mechanical Engineering. He argues in that book that a company must serve not only shareholders but all stakeholders to achieve long-term growth and prosperity. To promote the stakeholder concept, he founded the World Economic Forum the same year.
Professor Schwab holds doctorates in Economics (University of Fribourg) and in Engineering (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and obtained a master’s degree in Public Administration (MPA) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 1972, in addition to his leadership role at the Forum, he became a professor at the University of Geneva. He has since received numerous international and national honours, including 17 honorary doctorates. His latest books are The Great Narrative (2022), Stakeholder Capitalism (2021), The Great Reset (2020), Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (2018), and The Fourth Industrial Revolution (2016).

Underlying the whole premise of this weird book is that the virus did it to us: all the suffering and economic destruction were caused by the virus. This isn't true at all. All the suffering was caused by our response to the virus. Sweden proves this point. South Dakota, Florida, and Texas do as well.
Instead of practicing a policy of least harm wherein the most vulnerable were looked after, what we did instead was harm everyone, including and especially our children, by pretending that this disease was going to kill everyone. The authors insist that an alternative policy of "focused protection" was one of sacrificing a few so that we could save the economy, but they know full well that no one who advocated such a view was in favor of sacrificing anyone: the point, which the authors are too enchanted with their grandiose "reset" vision to see, was/is to do the least harm by focusing on the most vulnerable: those are the ones who had to "stay home, stay safe," and since many of these people were retired anyhow, for many this wasn't a problem. For those without the means to stay safe or who felt too afraid to participate in society (even if they were young and healthy) then the proper role of government would have been to seek out these people and lend them aid. This would have been at far less cost than the regulations, bailouts, etc., that took place instead.
The authors give precious little time to quaint ideas like liberty and freedom, although I supposed they might in the chapters on "Individual Reset." I was mistaken. They talk about individual mental health, creativity, consumption, well-being, but not about how installing a medical police state-- which is exactly what happened throughout the world-- damages the very ideals and aspirations of people all around the world who believe that our greatest good isn't that the state tells us what to do, but that we are always, to the greatest extent possible, masters and deciders of our own fates. The Great Reset folks don't want that. At bottom, their vision is one of a collectivist "we're all in this together" mindset wherein we all pull for a greater good (which greater good the authors conveniently sketch out for us) and it doesn't include individual self-determination except within the restricted bounds that Schwab and Mallerret outline for us. Authentic self-determination would be "selfish," you see.
I can only hope that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we'll say a polite "no, thank you" to Schwab and friends and tell them to go elsewhere with their utopian scheme. And no, many of us don't believe that CO2 warming is sound science, so I guess we're not "all in this together" on that one, either. Tsk, tsk ... we're the ones who'll have to be monitored and policed for the greater good of all, in a great reset dystopia. Slippery slope that one, or no? Who gets to decide what the "proper" outlook should be, for the greater good of all, and who would have to be monitored and controlled for the good of the collectivist whole?
Klaus and Thierry, my reply to you is,
Stay safe re-set: stay free.

“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” That is the utopian vision of the WEF and its founder Klaus Schwab. “Whatever you want you’ll rent and it’ll be delivered by drone.” Meat will be “an occasional treat,” the WEF prognosticated in a 2016 video (which has since been deleted from their website). The WEF chose the year 2030 as the date by which their vision will be imposed on the world. “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better,” said a 2017 tweet from the WEF.
I had friends tell me that the existence of this book was nothing more than a conspiracy theory and that their impression of me was lower because I was apparently buying into it. I actually picked up my copy of the physical book and took it to them and I said here here's the actual book written by the guy who you said never wrote the book. It was mind-blowing to see the reactions and how they still denied the existence of the book even though I had the physical copy in my hands.
The other people going on about conspiracy theories about what's in the book, they were angry at me that I actually read the book. They were making up stuff about what's in the book and when I read through it it just wasn't in the book at all. I would point out to them how it isn't in the actual book and they were literally making stuff up but none of them would even listen to a single thing I had to say. They assumed that I was simply making everything up and accused me of being a sheep and all these other horrible things because I bought the book to find out what was in it.
Ich kann die Ablehnung, nachdem ich das Buch gewissenhaft zu Ende gelesen habe, absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Weder befindet sich der viel "zitierte" Satz "you will own nothing and be happy" noch vergleichbare Aussagen in dem Buch noch wird irgendwo Transhumanismus angepriesen. Die Technologisierung der Welt wird, genau wie die anderen globalen Entwicklungen, durchaus kritisch beleuchtet. Es ist eine Erörterung der Lage der Welt auf verschiedenen Ebenen und eine gewissenhafte Beschreibung ihrer fortlaufenden Probleme und wie sich diese momentan verstärken und bietet m. E. sehr wohlbegründete, kluge und humanistische Wege hieraus!
Nirgendwo war für mich Menschenhass oder Elitismus erkennbar - im Gegenteil!
Ich kann nach dieser Lektüre, die Wege in eine gerechtere und nachhaltige Welt aufzeigt, absolut nicht nachvollziehen, wie Menschen hier irgendeine schlechte Intention herauslesen. Nur weil die Autoren die Lage beschreiben heißen sie sie nicht gut. Komplett gegensätzlich zu dem was bestimmte Menschen über dieses Buch sagen werden die Lockdown-Politik, soziale Ungerechtigkeit, Technologie-Wahn, Überwachung und Umweltzerstörung hier eben nicht gut geheißen, sondern faktisch dargelegt und auf ihre Gefahren untersucht. Über die dargelegten Lösungen für unsere Probleme kann man sicher uneins sein mit den Autoren (was auf mich nicht zutrifft). Aber unverständlich ist mir, wie mensch aus den Inhalten dieses Buches eine schlechte Intention herauslesen und diese Menschen zu Menschenhassern hochstilisieren kann, außer vielleicht man projiziert seine Voreingenommenheit gegenüber dem Begriff "Great Reset" - die ich bevor ich das Buch las absolut hatte! - auf die Inhalte und kann ein vermeintliches Anpreisen nicht von einer Beschreibung und Analyse der globalen Entwicklungen unterscheiden.
Ich bin selber Maßnahmen-Kritikerin und finde das meiste, was momentan politisch mit dem Vorwand Corona angestellt wird absolut furchtbar. Aber in diesem Buch und in seinen Ideen lässt sich die Wurzel des Übeln nicht finden! Im Gegenteil (zwei kleine Ausschnitte in den Fotos) wird an einigen Stellen im Buch die humanistische Grundhaltung der Autoren und ihre Libe zur Menschheit und zu unserem Planeten deutlich sichtbar.
Wenn Sie das Thema "Great Reset" interessiert, schlage ich Ihnen vor: glauben Sie den negativen Hype nicht und machen Sie sich ein Bild, indem Sie es selbst lesen. Oder horchen Sie zumindest auf, wenn jemand ihnen den "Great Reset" als etwas erschreckendes verkaufen will. Für eine Person welche die globalen politischen, ökologischen und sozialen Entwicklungen der letzten Jahrzehnte mit ein bisschen Interesse verfolgt ist der Großteil des Inhalts mMn ziemlich redundant, aber zumindest bekommt mensch evt eine neue Sicht auf den "Great Reset" - und hat weniger Angst.
