Davos Watch #1: The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal on the Shawn Thompson Show

Author: The Heartland Institute January 18, 2024 Duration: 18:03

The other day, Donald Kendal, Deputy Director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute was a guest on the Shawn Thompson Show on AM560 The Answer in Chicago. Donald is a frequent guest, and has now started a monthly segment with Shawn Thompson called “Davos Watch.”

This week begins the annual meeting of the World Economic Form in Davos, Switzerland where global leaders -- far removed from the people -- plan out how the future will look. It seems we get very little say in these matters, but that doesn't have to be a permanent state of affairs. The first step is getting informed about the WEF, the Davos agenda, and what it will mean to our freedom. Spoiler alert: The WEF crowd is not interested in our freedom. In fact, they consider it a troublesome barrier to their aims.

Have a listen to Donald Kendal's first "Davos Watch" installment on this excellent radio program, the Shawn Thompson show, which you should definitely seek out and listen to regularly.

Learn more about Davos and the World Economic Forum at Heartland’s Stopping Socialism TV channel on YouTube, and our Stopping Socialism Center.

Hosted by The Heartland Institute, Stopping Socialism is a series of frank conversations about the practical and philosophical challenges facing free markets and individual liberty. Each episode digs into current events, policy proposals, and cultural shifts, examining their roots and potential consequences through a lens skeptical of centralized control. You'll hear from policy experts, economists, and on-the-ground advocates who offer analysis and explore strategies for engagement. This isn't just theoretical; the discussions connect abstract ideas to everyday life, from business operations and community initiatives to national headlines. The aim is to provide a clear-eyed perspective on what its hosts view as the encroachment of socialist policies, arguing for alternative solutions grounded in personal freedom and limited government. Tune into this podcast for a direct, substantive take on the debates shaping the country's future, all centered on the active effort to articulate and promote a different path forward. The tone is urgent and conversational, designed for anyone following the news who wants a deeper understanding of the ideological battle being waged in politics and beyond.
