The core issue is that the free market wants to decentralize and distribute wealth, and these people want to centralize and consolidate it. If they did that by being productive, it would be fine, but in the end they are not gods, and so at some point they falter and turn to state power to "protect" them and their cartels, rather than appreciating the very market that gave them their moment in the spot light.

But what they don't get is that the free market made them, and the free market can break them. They will pay a bitter price for abandoning or failing to respect it.

Technically this is "The Davos Agenda," an online version of the event. I thought the physical one had been cancelled, but it's been moved to Singapore in May. Too late to change the title.

They talked about this in War Room. Said Xi gave a victory lap speech full of language about how earth will be remade into their version of heaven.
