2019 state of the world conference - the story behind the story....behind the story
The world has never been as complex as it is right now. At least that’s how it seems. There is a general feeling of instability, of “fin de siècle” as the French would say. We are on the precipice of a reordering of many things. We aren’t going back to business as usual.
In this year’s conference we’ll look at big issues, but go deep, very deep. We’ll look behind the what’s reported in the media and find ways of looking at motivations and agendas that are avoided in the general discourse because they are uncomfortable and challenge conventional wisdom.
For example, we'll look at:

- how the global economy is fast becoming less global.
- the financial system that exists beneath the surface of our mainstream banking and investment networks.
- energy markets and how they are key to geopolitical shifts.
- just how dangerous rising tensions are between the U.S.-China.
- what artificial intelligence could do or not do.
