Davos 2010
If the mood at the World Economic Forum at Davos last year was heavily tinted by a desire to better understand the recent financial meltdown, Davos 2010 was framed by the desire to right the economic crisis by free market reforms, if possible — or by government regulation, if not. London Business School Dean Andrew Likierman along with Professors Julian Birkinshaw, Dominic Houlder and Andrew Scott joined the search for global financial solutions.
Right after the keynote address by Nicolas Sarkozy, the first World Economic Forum (WEF) keynote given by a French president, it was apparent that there would be no easy solutions to the world’s economic crisis and that the attendees at Davos were more than ready to debate proposals. President Sarkozy demanded “a revolution” in international regulation, not only of financial institutions but also of labour, health and the environment. At the core of his speech was a proposal to establish a new global monetary system, one that demotes the US dollar as the central reserve currency. He also slammed outsized bonuses for bankers, taking aim at those leading financial firms whom he felt destroyed wealth and jobs.

Battered, bruised and distrusted they may be, but for financial institutions repairing trust is often understood to mean restoring confidence in the rationally driven market and its associated practices and underlying norms.
