World Economic Forum Warns that Financial Crisis is Laying Seeds of ‘Dystopian Future’

LONDON — The World Economic Forum warned Wednesday that the financial crisis that has gripped the global economy for the past few years is fueling resentment that could lay the seeds for a rising tide of protectionism, nationalism and social unrest.
In its assessment of the risks to the global economy, the Forum flagged a “dystopian future” for much of humanity that could wipe out the gains achieved so far by globalization and undermine a nascent economic recovery.
