Since its founding in 1971, the World Economic Forum, based in the Swiss canton of Geneva, has managed to become a control center of global power. For more than 50 years, it has brought together the top leaders of politics, business, academia, the media, trade unions, NGOs, culture and churches, networking them with each other and bringing them together with the world
It has also been training the world's corporate and political elite for more than 30 years. Whether it is Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma from the world of business or Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Viktor Orban or Vladimir Putin from the world of politics - they have all passed through the school of the WEF as "Global Leaders for Tomorrow" or as "Young Global Leaders".
No wonder, then, that the founder of the Forum, German professor Klaus Schwab, is considered one of the most influential personalities of our time. But how far does his influence go? Could it be that the WEF is now so powerful that Schwab even wrote the script for the current world crisis with his book "Covid 19 - The Great Reset", published in July 2020?
In his new book, journalist Ernst Wolff gets to the bottom of this and many other questions surrounding the origins and history of one of the most enigmatic organizations in contemporary history.
