Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, delivered special address at the World Economic Forum s Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. In 1978, the Czech dissident Vaclav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless, and in it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself? The system s power comes not from its truth, but from everyone s willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, the illusion begins to crack. +++FILE PHOTO++From left to right former former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, former US President George Bush, Czech President Vaclav Havel, former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev CTKPhotoFO00143591
