So asks the NY Times in today's Sunday Business section. The article takes a look at this year's annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland where the likes of the Bill's (Gates and Clinton), PM Blair, Bono, Michael Dell, Sharon Stone, and yes, Angelina Jolie gathered this week for "stimulating, high-minded discourse" (according to the Times).
Personally, I love reading about what's going every year in Davos. The Times article and Jay Nordlinger's posts at NRO (here and here) are kind of like Us Weekly and Star for dorks, i.e., me. C-SPAN has provided limited coverage of this year's forum as well.
Where else can one find Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Bono, PM Blair, Thabo Mbeki (President of South Africa), and Olesegun Obasanjo (President of Nigeria) on the same stage discussing the G-8 and Africa?
Are they really going to solve anything in one one week meeting in the Alps? No, but it sure would be a kick-butt place to network...
UPDATE: Check out Nordlinger's Davos updates numbers III & IV.
