But to the thought leaders who pay close attention to these summits, Davos 2013’s vague headlining idea sounds a lot like another vague idea forwarded by Nassim Taleb. And if WEF organizers did in fact lift their theme from Taleb’s work, we’re guessing the author who famously hates Davos is none too happy.
