Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered one of the most devastating speeches Davos has heard in years. He questioned every assumption leaders make about the system they dominate.
His message was blunt: this is not a transition. It is a rupture. The end of comforting assumptions, consensus politics, and a rules-based order that leaders privately know is failing.
At Thinking the Unthinkable, this diagnosis is not new. For years we have warned that zombie orthodoxies, power rivalry, and global irresponsibility are colliding faster than institutions are prepared for. But few wanted to listen.
Now Carney means they must. His sobering but visiony analysis mattered because it stripped away illusion. It assumed leaders are capable of facing harsh reality and changing course fast.
The test now is whether others are willing to think and lead with the same clarity.
