Loading player...
Day two in Davos and Alec Hogg’s been jumping from session to session as the town engulfs itself with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It was an early start as Alec engaged himself in Edelman’s annual trust barometer. Not the news many South Africans want to wake up to though, only 16% of those surveyed trust government, the, lowest of all countries surveyed. Oxford University’s Ian Goldin spoke about the 17th century Renaissance and how it’s being reflected in the Fourth Industrial revolution of today. Alec also attended the Pravin Gordhan press conference, which didn’t offer anything newsworthy but did offer a glimmer of hope. This is day two of Alec Hogg’s Davos Diary.
