I had a peek at the home page (http://www.globalagendamagazine.com/) of
the review in which the article appeared, which states the following:

'The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting has proved its power time
after time in setting the global agenda, identifying emerging issues and
challenges, and engaging leaders from all walks of life in dialogue,
initiative and action.
In the same way, Global Agenda seeks to lead opinion and debate on all
the key issues facing the world. It aims to be thought-provoking and
controversial, but balanced and fair. And it tries to make room for
voices from all sides of society.

'We live in deeply unsettled, challenging times. Many of the certainties
on which we have come to depend in recent years are in doubt. In place
of trust lie scepticism, suspicion and fear.

'It is more vital than ever that all sides of the debate are heard ?
from the worlds of business, civil society and government. Like the
World Economic Forum itself, Global Agenda aims to be a forum for
discussing issues, testing ideas and initiating change.'

This sort of lobbying/whispering in (certain) ears is rather a long way
from class composition analysis ...
