Longread #133 -- The World Economic Forum -- 8/10/12

Every year, people from around the world converge on Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. While the WEF features a host of presentations and formal events, in many ways it is really a huge networking event for the world's financial elite. Powerful people from government and the private sector rub elbows and make a point of seeing and being seen. This longread is a chronicle of one writer's experience in trying to understand what really happens at Davos.
