As the U.S. economic recession continues to have a domino-effect around the world, this year&#8217;s meeting has set high goals for government leaders and financial experts to promptly respond to the situation at hand. Over 2,500 participants, including more than 40 heads of state, will attend the five-day meeting starting Wednesday. This year\u2019s forum has been dubbed &#8220;Shaping the Post-Crisis World,&#8221; which reflects its stated objective to &#8220;catalyze a holistic and systematic approach to improve the state of the world in a manner that integrates all stakeholders of global society.&#8221;  Critics of the annual gathering are anxious to see if frivolity and partying this year in the backdrop of the economic crisis will match that of previous years. President Obama decided last minute not to send his National Economic Council director, Larry Summers and National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones to attend the meeting.  Instead, Valerie Jarret, Mr. Obama&#8217;s senior adviser will attend. It remains to be seen what plans will result from the forum and how they portend to address the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p>GUESTS: Sameer Dossani, Director of 50 Years Is Enough Network, Dr. Jack Rasmus, Professor of Economics and Politics at Saint Mary\u2019s College, author of the forthcoming book \u201cEPIC Recession and Global Financial Crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program Business and political elites will be gathering this week in Davos, Switzerland amid a global financial crisis for the annual World Economic Forum.
