Donald Trump's arrival at the White House has dominated this year's edition of the World Economic Forum in Davos due to the potential divisions his policies may cause.
The European Union has lagged behind in terms of growth, reforms, and investments in artificial intelligence.
Ursula von der Leyen promises to put the economy at the forefront of her second term, focusing on reducing energy prices, boosting investment and market unity, and reducing bureaucracy.
Trade war in a globalized economy is detrimental to everyone.
National industrial policies and tariffs could reduce global GDP by up to 5%, a potentially more significant impact than the 2008 financial crisis or the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Davos forum has theoretically carried a globalist view.
Business leaders have stopped advocating for a capitalism with a human face.
Conclusion: The analysis underscores Trump's centralization of the economy, Europe's lag in AI, Ursula von der Leyen's promise to shift the EU's economy, and the damage of trade war. Capitalism with a human face appears to be fading and Davos reverts to business, business, and business.
