I have listed the endnotes of this book because I think it’s important to show where Klaus gets his information. As you can see all of them are from main stream media, and educational facilities. The same group of people who generally are members of WEF and/or are invited to Davos.
The curious thing about this is, of the 172 references, 113 are from 2020, that is 65.5% of the references are within 6 months of the book being published. The thing I find odd is there is reference 120 on page 151 dated July 2020, are we saying Klaus can basically read everything necessary, outline, rough copy, and final copy and publish a book out in 9 days, or did he write while he read, and then compiled after he finished? Who knows.
I think it’s clear he had a team. There is nothing sinister about this, it’s just something to mention since by all accounts it seemed to appear that Klaus and Theirry wrote this themselves which I don’t think is entirely accurate.
If they had a team maybe Klaus and Thierry just supervised and were only responsible for putting the book together. I would think given Klaus’ stature I can’t think he’d have enough time to sit down and right a book, so again, nothing sinister here just an observation, or maybe he’s superman, or a super villain, who knows.

They are called “black swans” in reference to the fact that such swans were presumed not to exist until Dutch explorers discovered them in Western Australia at the end of the 17th century.
