n this episode of Hammer Time, we break down the quiet shift that took place at the World Economic Forum in Davos. For decades, Davos symbolised globalisation, open borders, mass migration, climate absolutism, and the belief that national power was outdated. But this year, something changed. From demographics and migration to energy, industrial policy, and technology, many of the dogmas that dominated the last 20–25 years are beginning to crumble.
One of the most striking moments came from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who openly questioned the long-held assumption that mass migration is an economic necessity. With advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and productivity, even shrinking and ageing societies may be able to maintain — or even raise — living standards. That single admission undermines a core pillar of the globalist economic narrative.
At the same time, globalisation itself is quietly being walked back. De-industrialisation is no longer treated as inevitable, energy security has returned to the centre of policy discussions, and national resilience is now seen as just as important as efficiency. Climate policy, too, has shifted from moral crusade to pragmatic cost-benefit analysis.
In this episode, we explore:
* Why « Davos Man » may be a thing of the past
* How national power and domestic industry are back on the agenda
* Why the Overton window is moving faster than many realise
* And what this ideological retreat means for Europe, the United States, and the next generation
