Is Switzerland Losing its Shine?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Is Switzerland in danger of losing its status as a safe haven for investors? And who are the winners and losers of the sharp rise in the Swiss Franc? We ask Kern Alexander, professor at the University of Zurich. Also on the programme, why don't women speak up at business meetings? Psychology researcher Victoria Brescoll tells all. And Steve Fritzinger in Washington DC tells us why his home town is the richest in the United States, despite producing nothing. (Photo: A Swiss flag flies on the shores of Lake Geneva.
