Today, Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world - but how did a country without large deposits of raw materials, without access to the sea and without a colonial past achieve this prosperity? The publication "Switzerland's Surprising Prosperity" offers an insight into the decisive factors that have led to Switzerland's economic success. It illustrates how the geographical location in the centre of the "blue banana", the absence of a ruling aristocracy, a stable political system and a clever foreign policy have laid the foundations for today's prosperity.
Favourable historical developments and an open, inclusive society have allowed Switzerland to develop into a nation in which all citizens can freely develop their talents and actively contribute to the country's economic future. This unique combination of factors makes Switzerland a role model for sustainable prosperity and economic stability.
