The view from outside the Panasia Gallery in Davos Thursday night Yeah, that’s Rick Stengel in the middle of the picture. The event was the Time cocktail party last night. Good crowd. No heads of state that I was aware of. But there was a head of a state (New Jersey Gov. John Corzine). I [...]
Last year, when Time‘s Board of Economists gathered for its annual debate in Davos (and no, Time doesn’t really have a Board of Economists on an ongoing basis, we just gather them together every year here at the World Economic Forum), economist and superblogger Nouriel Roubini was the only gloomy voice in the crowd. As [...]
This one was taped in a Davos parking lot. With some camerawork and other excellent assistance from Mrs. Curious Capitalist. http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1388789686
This morning’s big attraction here in Davos was a breakfast in which Bono and Al Gore were supposed to talk about “Combining Solutions to Extreme Poverty and the Climate Crisis.”
So I’ve been too overwhelmed with dead-tree stuff to report much here today. But I did at least take a few pictures: A morning shot of, uh, some mountain. Maybe the Jakobshorn? Davos by night, and a fine Alabama-made vehicle (go American exports!) Alice Waters, talking about the fine dinner of local goat and stuff [...]
Here goes. I know, I’ve got to work on the whole centering-my-face in the screen thing. I should add that Ned Phelps, whom I just met, is a very entertaining guy. Not that I really captured that (or tried to) in the video. But here’s a little sample. George Soros has an opinion piece in [...]
That’s Becky Sharp of CNBC and Tom Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, wishing a Swiss Army helicopter would stop buzzing them. I was supposed to go on a little later with Andrew Sorkin of the NYT, but we got bumped by stock market events in the U.S. I’m frantically trying to finish a [...]
I really can’t think of a better place to spend a global financial semi-meltdown than in the cozy bar/cocktail lounge of the Parkhotel Silvretta in Klosters (a sweet little resort town just down the hill from bigger, less-charming Davos). Outside it’s snowing. Inside it’s warm, and I’m sitting in a comfy chair, partaking of an [...]
So I’m here in Davos, and for no good reason other than that I want to seem like the very model of the modern multimedia journalist, I have just recorded my first ever CapitalistCast here in my hotel room. Here goes (and just so you know, I haven’t slept in 25 hours): http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1386354352
Here’s a guest post from Michael Elliott, editor of Time International: It was cold and clear on the way up from Zurich to Davos last night, the sort of weather that makes you hope that the next day will see brilliant sunshine, you’ll head to the Jakobshorn for a quick half-day on the slopes, and [...]
