Examples

“The rewards of an increasingly integrated global economy have⟳ brought forth a new global elite. Labeled ‘Davos Men’, ‘gold-collar workers’ or . . . ‘cosmocrats’, this emerging class is empowered by new notions of global connectedness. It includes academics, international civil servants and executives in global companies, as well as successful high-technology entrepreneurs.”

“So Davos man has a troublesome pre-history of combining brilliance and stupidity, of being blinded by national and ideological prejudice to his own⟳ long-term interest⟳ and destroying with one hand what he has built with the other.”

“Although Lexiteers have⟳ little patience for the national nihilism of “Davos Man,” the globalist elite, we are no xenophobes. […] It has been a colossal error by Davos Man left-wingers to think⟳ of nation-states as embarrassing anachronisms hostile to democracy.”
