Klaus Schwab is Stepping Down - In The Tank #450

In The Tank

23-05-2024 • 1 hora 17 minutos

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 450 of the In The Tank Podcast. World Economic Forum's CEO Klaus Schwab just announced he will be stepping down from his role as "Davos Man." What does this mean for the organization? Who is likely to take over control of the WEF? Also, an anti-CBDC bill is gaining traction in Congress. Will this potential legislation possibly put an end to the quest to establish a central bank digital currency in the United States?
