The Zurich Axioms by Max Gunther PDF torrent

Consider the puzzle of Switzerland. This ancestral home of mine is a rocky little
place about half the size of Maine. It has not one inch of seacoast. It is one of the
most mineral-poor lands on earth. It possesses not a drop of oil to call its own, barely
a bucket of coal. As for farming, its climate and topography are inhospitable to just
about everything.
It has stayed out of European wars for 300 years, chiefly because, in all that time,
there has never been an invader who really wanted it.
Yet the Swiss are among the most affluent people in the world. In per capita income
they rank with the Americans, West Germans, and Japanese. Their currency is among
the world's soundest.
How do the Swiss do it?
They do it by being the world's cleverest investors, speculators, and gamblers.
This book is about betting to win.
