Protests Against the World Economic Forum: New York Activists Strike Back Against Corporate Terror

Globalization critics say the World Economic Forum is a nerve center for neoliberal economics. Its members are the "top decision makers" of the political and business worlds. In an attempt to offset its image of a global establishment, the World Economic Forum has brought religious leaders, academics and experts, news media representatives and union leaders to join business leaders. WEF organizers also say that a quarter of the almost 3,000 participants have come from developing countries.
