Davos reflects the breakdown in global liberal political order. One in which the role and tasks of democratically legitimate institutions have been usurped by unelected illegitimate ones: corporations, banks, lobbyists. And in that sense it is not just a silly circus, but a foolish one. For Davos delegitimizes the very idea that it pretends to stand for: that we should have a world which democratically legitimate institutions can be designed to fix. That is a shame, because that idea is the truly world-changing one.

Read Leonardo Sciascia’s The Aldo Moro Affair (Il Caso Moro, in Italian). A tour de force like this paragraph expanded to book-length.
