The Great Reset – a conspiracy theory to some, an existential threat to others. It became pretty clear that we would probably need some kind of reset after the pandemic as time went by. By now, it is evident that there will be no going back to the status quo ante – to the “old normal”. Klaus Schwab and Thierry Malleret outline a “reset” concept based on their analysis: The pandemic is an opportunity to strengthen the interests of the “stakeholders” in capitalism against those of the shareholders in profit maximization, i.e. sustainability, environmental protection and the interests of dependent employees. The goal is to “make the world less divided, less polluting, less destructive, more inclusive, more just and more fair” than before the pandemic. Yet, satisfying answers on how such a “great reset” could/should look like are in short supply.
