Steinberg, Jonathan: Why Switzerland?

This revised edition of Why Switzerland?, first published in 1976, offers a unique analysis of the structures that make Switzerland work and provides a short, concise working model for the visitor or student. Linking an analysis of the micro-economy to the major features in politics, history, religion and language, it shows how a bottom-up society has survived in a world of top- down states. For this new edition Jonathan Steinberg has completely revised and extended his text, and a number of unusual and attractive illustrations have been added.
