Klaus Schwab, founder and sole chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF) since its inception in 1971, is the original international man of mystery.

As I noted in Part 1 of this series, research for this project has been the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes, and that is largely because there is almost no meaningful, reliable biographical information available on Schwab himself. One can find facts — “He was born in Ravensburg, Germany in 1938 …” — but almost nothing about the man behind the facts.
