Professor Ziegler convincingly demonstrates that behind the traditional image of classless democracy, philanthropy and altruism, pacifism and probity, there is a country controlled by "twenty~six cold monsters" , the leading multinational companies and banks which operate a roaring trade in hot money, high~class fraud and third world exploitation. Not only does the numbered Swiss bank account conceal a multitude of nefarious financial practices, but Ziegler also asserts Switzerland's deep involvement in such political situations as the overthrow of Allende's regime in Chile and the support of apartheid in South Africa, "Jean Ziegler is a Social Democrat member of Swiss parliament, a libertarian humanist who has given bitter vent to his feelings in a compelling book about one of the world's smallest though most financially powerful nations. 'Switzerland Exposed' , first published in French, caused an international controversy by its disclosures of the raw reality behind the benign democratic face of Swiss neutrality. It is not hard to see why" ~ Time Out~ "Government officials and conservative politicians in Berne are apt to dismiss Mr Ziegler as a crank. They are wrong. He is a man of courage and high principle who presents a case worth listening to" ~ The Economist. Seller Inventory # 8071102
