Join us for a Delphi Salon featuring Dr. Tomas Casas i Klett, the architect of a groundbreaking global study on national elites. This event offers a forensic look at elites who make and share value versus those who plunder and degrade.
Ironically, it was President Donald Trump who first publicly questioned the quality of our elites, a topic simmering since the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. The distrust in the establishment persists, with leaders worldwide facing unprecedented challenges. From Macron in France to Johnson in the UK, political ethics and governance are under intense scrutiny.
Dr. Casas i Klett and his colleagues at the Foundation for Value Creation have embarked on an ambitious project to define and grade the quality of national elites across 151 nations. Their study provides a penetrating look at the economic and political fabric of these countries, offering insights beyond the daily news cycle.
Highlights of the study include the surprising high ranking of the UK despite its current turmoil, and the significant drop of the US, described as a “catastrophe.” The study values competition, efficient government, education, health, low crime rates, and equitable economic growth, with top scores going to diverse models like Singapore and Switzerland.
This event is a vital contribution to understanding how different political models achieve similar outcomes and challenges the complacency and ideology in evaluating a country’s welfare. Dr. Casas i Klett, with his extensive global experience and multilingual expertise, will provide unique perspectives on the impact of elites.
Anyone curious about who rules us and how should attend this talk for essential and unique insights.
