"Klaus Schwab, a German economist, engineer and founder of the World Economic Forum, drafted a vision for what the world might look like after the coronavirus pandemic is over. He described how countries could come together to facilitate 'the Great Reset,' a reordering of social and economic priorities and believes there will be no 'getting back to normal' after COVID-19 subsides, saying the pandemic represents a global inflection point. But the group’s emphasis on global cooperation and reshaping capitalism worry conservatives who promote 'America First' and distrust Schwab’s calls for globally shared goals for private enterprise. And proponents of small government and lower taxes recoil at his conclusion in 'COVID-19: The Great Reset' that 'Irrespective of the details, the role of the state will increase, and in doing so, will materially affect the way business in conducted.' Taxes will necessarily increase, 'particularly for the most privileged,' Schwab wrote. He also rues the lack of a system of global governance to address global problems, such as a pandemic. One person on Twitter described the components of the Great Reset as control of movement, suppression of dissent, transfer of wealth and creation of dependency on government, and the introduction of digital IDs, electronic money and universal basic income. 'Sure, it sounds like a conspiracy theory,' Delingpole wrote. 'But as someone wise once said, it’s not a conspiracy theory when they tell you exactly what they’re doing.'  ” ("What is 'the Great Reset' ...," Jennifer Graham, Deseret News)
