It's that time of year again. World leaders and some of the biggest names in business are gathering in Davos, Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum. Notable attendees include Vice President Joe Biden, Alibaba (BABA) CEO Jack Ma, General Motors (GM) CEO Mary Barra and Facebook (FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg. The theme of this year's forum is 'mastering the fourth industrial revolution.' There's plenty to discuss as worries about a global recession heat up amid a slowdown in China, the world's second largest economy. Other hot topics include plunging oil prices, Europe's migrant crisis, North Korea's controversial nuclear test earlier this month and income inequality.
