Re: The End of Switzerland?

Quote:
Switzerland posted 3 percent annual growth over the five years prior to the banking crisis—higher than the rest of Europe. The country suffers from neither the public nor the private indebtedness of the Anglo-Saxon world and hasn't faced the collapse of a housing bubble, as Spain and Ireland have. Swiss unemployment may have risen, but it still stands at only 4.4 percent, less than half the EU average. The country boasts more green industry and technology actually in operation than any other nation in the world. Rule of law, a vigorous press, and a corruption-free state continue to make it attractive.

Now the old ways are no longer working.
Somewhat of a contradiction, don't you think Mr MacShane??

Anyone who starts a tirade against Switzerland by quoting the most quoted mis-quote about Switzerland, proves their credentials are tarnished. How long before the world realises that cuckcoo clocks are not Swiss??
