State of Corporate Power 2012
Exposing the Davos Class
TNI
January 2012


Who are the global 1%? What companies do they run? How do they escape
accountability? Check out TNI's powerful infographic displays that expose
the social and environmental costs of global corporate power.

The economic, social and ecological crises humanity face are no accident,
but a result of policies pursued by a small  corporate elite that has
systematically hijacked political and economic policy throughout the
world.

This global elite - best known as the Davos class - meets annually in the
Swiss skiing resort in the last week of January to reaffirm their faith in
the orthodoxy of pro-corporate economic policies. They continue to do so,
even as the costs become ever more clear in debt crises that are never
resolved, rising unemployment and inequality, and an ever-pressing
ecological crisis.

TNI, as part of its new Corporate Power project, is producing a series of
infographics over 2012 that expose the reality of corporate power, and our
need to fundamentally change direction. Please download and share these
infographics, and watch out for new ones over the coming months.
