Observations at Davos





Latin America is here in full force. In a year of huge general foreboding, a good chunk of Latin America looks stable and promising (relatively speaking), and they know it. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and newly elected Argentine President Mauricio Macri are getting a lot of attention.



The Japanese contingent, as always, is large, coordinated and efficient.



The US delegation is pretty big, but everyone is off doing their own thing. Al Gore is also here. Davos is like his Christmas.



The Russian contingent used to descend on Davos in force, renting out a mansion that was a central hub of activity. They’ve downgraded this year, renting out a coffee shop instead to use as their home base. Make of that what you will.
