Government leaders and top executives will descend on the Swiss Alps starting Monday for the annual World Economic Forum, the bastion of globalization under strain amid a tumultuous geopolitical landscape
DAVOS, Switzerland -- BlackRock CEO Larry Fink will open the World Economic Forum with a blunt acknowledgment that Davos — and the economic system it represents — is facing a crisis of legitimacy.

What to watch: Fink's remarks set the stage for a week in which Davos' elite consensus will be tested by populist politics — including Pr
