Of the 2,622 hobnobbers invited to this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, just 15% are women. Two-thirds of the delegates hail from Western countries that are home to just 12% of the world’s population. Counting delegates from academic institutions produces an alternative university ranking—with Harvard right at the top. Some 60% are businessfolk and 14% come from government. The 46 presidents and prime ministers represent 1.8 billion of the world’s 7.1 billion people. One in eleven is a hack—four from The Economist. The total worth of the 15 richest is around $285 billion.

The stockmarket value of firms represented is $12 trillion, about one-fifth of the world’s total. And after all the inflated expenses and egos, what has been the fate of the companies that sent delegates at least three times in the past five years? Those 104 firms underperformed both the S&P 500 and MSCI World Index. Time to get back to work.
