People, like the WEF, who spend a great deal of time trying to anticipate the future "revolutions" and post-"revolutions" are just a bunch of self-important assholes. The point about the economy and "revolutions" and other things is that it's an extremely complex chaotic system. Exponentially more complex than anything any computer can model. And details matter. Details matter very very much. A accidental conversation in a hallway or a pebble rolling across a road can lead to world shattering revelations and new technology that will forever after change humanity's trajectory. This means you cannot predict the future anymore than you can recreate an ice cube from a puddle it makes after it melted. The required information is simply not available.
