As the World Economic Forum (WEF)  celebrates its 50th Anniversary, let us recall my Message to the WEF two years ago at its 2017 Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

A recession takes place when the GDP falls in two successive quarters.

When fallacies and flawed narratives cloud the truth, perception becomes a reality, and all is lost. This is the unfortunate case of Liberia, a nation of contradictions and misconceptions. Liberia has a deep-rooted social structured hierarchy. Those who find themselves in the lowest level of the hierarchical structure are often treated as second class citizens. Many of them dare not venture into a particular area or hang around certain individuals. They are usually overlooked, and sometimes their rights are violated by people of the upper hierarchy with impunity.
