The Swiss resort town of Davos is preparing again to welcome influential guests from around the world. Let's take a look at some of the topics that have been discussed at the World Economic Forum over the years. The focus of talks shifted following the 2008 Financial Crisis, with guests encouraged to discuss how the crisis affected people's lives. After years of review and introspection, discussions leaned towards common solutions and a shared future. In 2016, talks on Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution focused on how technological developments will affect the global economy and the world. From Shaping the Post-crisis world in 2009 to Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World in 2018, discussions at the forum often address a broad range of issues, from economics to politics and societal change.
