A talk by AKTIVIA at the Heilig Geist parish in Zürich-Höngg. Dr. Markus Somm, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Nebelspalter, gives a lecture on his book «Warum die Schweiz reich geworden ist». He shows that Switzerland's economic success did not arise by chance but rests on developments reaching back many centuries, explaining which political, social and economic factors laid the groundwork early on for stability, innovation and prosperity. Coffee and pastries are served afterwards, and all interested people are warmly invited.
