Loading ...Note: Men really don’t exist anymore, considering so many men in high places all do what their wives and other woman want. It was “a mans world” up until the 1950s, but the day they told us that, it was the beginning of the end of that.

For this reason, “Davos Man” has itself become synonymous with a stereotyped figure of a typical participant of the Forum — rich and powerful, perhaps out of touch, but most of all representative of the global elite.
The phrase “Davos Man” was credited to Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist who spent the majority of his working life at Harvard University.
He said such global elites “have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the elite’s global operations.”
Huntington added that such individuals were defined by their “involvement in transnational institutions, networks and activities” and that “someone whose loyalties, identities and involvements are purely national is less likely to rise to the top in business, academia, the media and the professions than someone who transcends these limits.”
There has been a backlash against the globalization representative of WEF and Davos men and women, however, with the rise of nationalism and politicians such as Donald Trump who promotes an “America First” policy, and public backlashes against big government, such as the Brexit vote in the U.K. that was seen as a reaction against “the elite,” albeit an elusive and undefined one.
In business too, “Davos Man” and “Davos Woman’s” days might be numbered. In 2017, Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists said the term “Davos Man” was becoming redundant as investors moved away from the global investing themes of Wall Street, typified by “Davos Man.”
Instead, the strategists saw a shift towards “Joe Six-Pack,” an “every man,” everyday investor who was domestically focused.
