It is no coincidence that the World Economic Forum (WEF) is frequently associated with globalization and its negative aspects. The membership of the WEF is made up of the world’s foremost global corporations who over the last two decades have been the driving force behind the process of economic globalization. They have successfully established a neoliberal economic order (characterized by liberalization, deregulation, and privatization) that gives them access to new markets, cheap labor, and profitable investment opportunities.
