+Davos is the Neoliberalism's Brigadoon: an earthly projection of the World
+Economic Forum that annually overlays itself over its Swiss skiing village
+host, like a night's snowfall, or a Weyland-Yutani facehugger.
+
+There, perpetually frozen in not-quite-1998, avatars of statecraft, NGOs, and
+public-private partnerships manifest. They manifest moderated panels with each
+other, office-party-dance in makeshift euroclubs, and pop the deal stacks that
+can only progess when stars align and travel plans intersect. An ageless CEO of
+a sagging Japanese tech companies pushes a stapled Powerpoint printout toward a
+sovereign fund investor; exiled lamas diffidently bless you with a business
+card for their World Peace Project. Climate change protestors huddle around
+burning braziers for warmth. Public relations staff stand nervously beside
+every threshold. In the distance, will.i.am can be heard, soft-launching.
+
+And then, as soon as they have arrived, the ghosts of the global consensus slip
+their snowboots back over suit trousers and recede like glaciers to Zurich and
+Zug.
