The great reset and its implications for educational policy

Abstract

This analysis begins with a general overview of the Great Reset as outlined by Klaus Schwab and other members of the World Economic Forum. It will focus on the themes of redefining the social contract by discussing the philosophies of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau; controlling carbon output and its dietary as well as agricultural implications; implementing the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its impact on the very nature of what it means to be human; transitioning to stakeholder capitalism and the concept of multistakeholderism; finally, moving toward greater global governance. These are the five areas that Mr. Schwab and the World Economic Forum have proposed as essential to the success of the Great Reset. This analysis will also address some alarming assertions offered by this proposal.
