Since its founding in 1971, the World Economic Forum, based in the Swiss canton of Geneva, has managed to become a control center of global power. For more than 50 years, it has brought together the top leaders of politics, business, academia, the media, trade unions, NGOs, culture and churches, networking them with each other and bringing them together with the world‹s richest people. 
It has also been training the world’s corporate and political elite for more than 30 years. Whether it is Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma from the world of business or Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Viktor Orban or Vladimir Putin from the world of politics — they have all passed through the school of the WEF as “Global Leaders for Tomorrow” or as “Young Global Leaders”. 
No wonder, then, that the founder of the Forum, German professor Klaus Schwab, is considered one of the most influential personalities of our time. But how far does his influence go? Could it be that the WEF is now so powerful that Schwab even wrote the script for the current world crisis with his book “Covid 19 — The Great Reset”, published in July 2020? 
In his new book, journalist Ernst Wolff gets to the bottom of this and many other questions surrounding the origins and history of one of the most enigmatic organizations in contemporary history.

Between Daily Routine and Violent Protest: Interpreting the Technicity of Action

Most human action has a technical dimension. This book examines four components of this technical dimension. First, in all actions, various individual, organizational or institutional agents combine actional capabilities with tools, institutions, infrastructure and other elements by means of which they act. Second, the deployment of capabilities and means is permeated by ethical aspirations and hesitancies. Third, all domains of action are affected by these ethical dilemmas. Fourth, the dimensions of the technicity of action are typical of human life in general, and not just a regional or culturally specific phenomenon. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach is adopted to encompass the broad anthropological scope of this study and combine this bigger picture with detailed attention to the socio-historical particularities of action as it plays out in different contexts. Hermeneutics (the philosophical inquiry into the human phenomena of meaning, understanding and interpretation) and social science (as the study of all human affairs) are the two main disciplinary orientations of this book. This study clarifies the technical dimension of the entire spectrum of human action ranging from daily routine to the extreme of violent protest.

Er erpresst Staaten. Er plundert Kontinente. Er hat Generationen von Menschen die Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft genommen und ist dabei zur machtigsten Finanzorganisation der Welt aufgestiegen: Die Geschichte des Internationalen Wahrungsfonds gleicht einem modernen Kreuzzug gegen die arbeitende Bevolkerung auf funf Kontinenten. In seinem bis zur letzten Seite fesselnden Buch schildert der Journalist Ernst Wolff, welche dramatischen Folgen die Politik des IWF fur die globale Gesellschaft und seit Eintreten der Eurokrise auch fur Europa und Deutschland hat. Denn die Vergabe von Krediten durch den IWF hat die Erzwingung neoliberaler Reformen zur Folge: Auf der einen Seite fordert diese Praxis Hunger, Armut, Seuchen und Kriege, auf der anderen begunstigt sie eine winzige Gruppe von Ultrareichen, deren Vermogen derzeit ins Unermessliche wachst - alles im Namen der Stabilisierung des Finanzsystems.

Weltmacht Iwf: Chronik Eines Raubzugs (German Edition)

Depriving entire generations of their hopes for a better future, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has risen to become the world's most powerful international financial organization. Blackmailing countries and pillaging whole continents for almost seven decades now, its history resembles a modern-day crusade against the working people on five continents. In his highly compelling account, journalist Ernst Wolff specifies the dramatic consequences of the IMF's practice of loan sharking and implementing neoliberal austerity measures. While exacerbating poverty, increasing hunger, furthering the spread of diseases and fuelling armed conflicts on the one hand, the Fund's policies have on the other hand helped a tiny group of ultra-rich profiteers increase their vast fortunes to immeasurable dimensions - allegedly in the name of ensuring the stability of the global financial system. // Ernst Wolff, born in 1950, spent his early childhood in South East Asia, went to school in Germany and studied history and philosophy in the US. He has worked in various professions, including journalism, translating and screenwriting. The interrelation between economics and politics, a subject he has been working on for four decades, has become of paramount significance to him. "The financial crisis of 2008 and the euro crisis were mere precursors of an impending financial tsunami whose destructive power the IMF and its allies will most certainly use as a pretext for globally imposing measures the likes of which we cannot even vaguely imagine at present."

Pillaging the World: The History and Politics of the Imf

The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.
