Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson: Davos 2026: The New World Order Isn’t About Peace—It’s About Power

At Davos, the discussion argues that the World Economic Forum is shifting from economics toward shaping a new global power order. “Peace” is framed not as ending wars, but as enforcing a U.S.-centered system through military, financial, and maritime dominance. Greenland and Iceland are presented as strategic nodes for controlling Arctic trade routes and sea access, not resources. Europe faces a choice between submission or resistance, while international law and national sovereignty are challenged by a proposed “rules-based order” favoring U.S. power amid rising global multipolarity.
