Claudio Grass – Whether Zwitserland can Save the World

Zwitserland

In hoeverre is Zwitserland een Libertarisch ideaal? Meer dan u denken zou, en een tamelijk geruststellend model voor democratisch libertarisme. Gesprek tussen Jeff Deist en Claudio Grass.

Switzerland is no libertarian paradise. It has bureaucrats and a wayward central bank. But it remains an astonishing modern example of the principles of federalism and subsidiarity in action. In fact, it exemplifies Lew Rockwell’s daydream: nobody much knows or cares who is president. Its federal administrative state demonstrates humility instead of hubris. And virtually all political decisions, from taxes to welfare to immigration, are decided locally. Claudio Grass joins Jeff Deist to discuss what libertarians can learn from Switzerland, and how neutrality in two disastrous European wars shapes Swiss DNA today.
