Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd recently joined the Coffee and a Mike Show to discuss how big finance shaped covid aid. During the discussion, he highlighted that the World Economic Forum has been promoting the idea of a “polycrisis” for years.
“WEF told us… three years ago in a paper called ‘Polycrisis’ [this would happen] … You got war, you got a hantavirus, and let’s just toss in aliens … You need people begging for money printing,” he said.

“Well, let’s go back to what the WEF told us two, three years ago in a paper called ‘Polycrisis’. So, you know, first of all, none of us knew who the WEF was before covid. They had a coming out party with like, you know, Bond-like villains, Harari and Schwab.
“So these Bond villains come out and tell us about the Great Reset. Then they start talking about the next problem is the “polycrisis.” And they said cyberattacks, another pandemic and war. What do we have now? We got Bessent talking about AI could steal your money from the bank. You got war, you got a hantavirus, and let’s just toss in aliens as a distraction on top of that.
“Yeah, you need people begging for money printing. So that’s where – so you cannot just print money out – and say we’re going to print a bunch of money. You need an excuse, and covid was a perfect excuse.”
Polycrisis Meets A New Competitive Order
There appears to be no paper titled ‘Polycrisis’ as Dowd had mentioned. The World Economic Forum (“WEF”) propagated the term “polycrisis” in its 2023 Global Risks Report.
According to the Institute of Development Studies (“IDS”), “the term ‘polycrisis’ was popularised by Columbia University academic Adam Tooze, and in early 2023 the World Economic Forum followed suit by warning in its annual Global Risks Report that the world was on the brink of a polycrisis in relation to ‘shortages in natural resources such as food, water, and metals and minerals’.”
While reading IDS’ article, it’s worth noting that IDS is not as “independent” as it claims.
IDS is located at and has close links with the University of Sussex. And, “The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is the Institute’s largest funder. IDS also receives funds from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the European Union, various UN agencies and a wide range of aid agencies, trusts and foundations,” IDS says.

We highlighted WEF’s dystopian Global Risk Report 2023 in an article titled ‘Davos 2023: Referring to The Great Reset is out but censorship, hypocrisy and god complexes are still in’. We wrote that “the report has the expected alarmism, fear-mongering, hysterical narratives and predictions of chaos and collapse. The authors even managed to link climate change to terrorism.”
