In Search of Davos Man
Peter Gumbel
William Browder was born in Princeton,New Jersey,grew up in Chicago,and studied at Stanford University in California.But don’t call him an American.For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the U.S.,first in London and then,from 1996,in Moscow,where he runs his own investment firm.Browder now manages $ 1.6 billion in assets.In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen,since his life is now centered in Europe.“National identity makes no difference for me,” he says.“I feel completely international.If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing,it doesn’t matter where you are.That’s globalization.”Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization,but he views himself very differently.A former president of AT & T,Mandl,61,was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company,which is doing more and more business in China.He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business.But despite all that globetrotting,Mandl who has been a U.S.citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American.“I see myself as American without any hesitation.The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn’t change that,” he says.
Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently,both see their identity as a matter of personal choice,not an accident of birth.And not incidentally,both are Davos Men,members of the international business elite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the world Economic Forum,founded in 1971.This week,Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200executives,politicians,academics,journalists,writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking,parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology.Yet this year,perhaps more than ever,a hot topic Davos is Davos itself.Whatever their considerable differences,most flows of capital,labor and technology across national borders,is both welcome and unstoppable.They see the world increasingly as one vast,interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy,produce and sell their goods and services.

William Browder出生在新泽西州的普林斯顿,在芝加哥长大,在加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学学习.但不要叫他美国人,因为在他人生中的40年里的16年都在不住在美国.先是在伦敦,然后,从1996年开始,在莫斯科,在那里他自己经营的投资公司.Browder现在管理着16亿的资产.1998年,他放弃美国国籍变为一个英国公民,因为他现在的生活都集中在欧洲.“民族认同对我都没有不同的”,他说,“我觉得我完全是个国际化的人.”如果你有四个朋友,你也喜欢你正在做的的事,那么你在哪就不重要了.这是全球化的时代.“在全球化里,Alex Mandl也是个强烈的拥护者,但是他认为自己很不同.一位美国电话电报公司的前董事长 ,Mandl,六十岁,出生在澳大利亚,现在经营一个越来越多得在在中国做生意的法国的科技公司.他猜测他的90%的时间大概都花在为生意的旅行上了.尽管进行了环球的旅行,作为45年美国公民Mandl还是把自己当做美国人.”我毫不犹豫的把自己看做一个美国人.就算是我在其他地方花费了很长的时间的事实也不能改变这一点.“他说.
尽管Brownder和Mandle对自己的的国籍看法不一样,但是都看到他们都声明这是他们个人的选择,不是因出生而注定.也不会是偶然的,他们都是达沃斯人.达沃斯人都是商务界的精英,他们每年都长途跋涉的去1971年建立的瑞士阿尔卑斯山的城镇上的开”世界经济论坛“的会.这周,Browder和Mandle都要参加2200个主管会议,政治上的,学术上的,新闻记者会,作家会还有许多好莱坞明星为期五天的笔记,聚会还有无休止的认真讨论一切从过去的伊拉克大选到非洲的HIV,再到全球石油供应,还有纳米技术的含义.今年,可能比上述的还多,达沃斯人的一个热门话题就是他们自己.无论他们的相当大的差异,大部分的资金流动、劳动力和技术跨越国界,既是欢迎和不可阻挡.他们看到世界越来越作为一个巨大的、互相联系的市场中,企业寻找最有利的位置去买,生产,出售自己的货物和服务.
