Description
Reading and discussion with author Markus Freitag. Are you a rule-abiding Bünzli or a relaxed free spirit? Do you trust your fellow humans? Do you love compromises or prefer to stand your ground? Do you feel disadvantaged? Do you openly express your opinion? What is your stance on politics? Where do you see the meaning of life? With 52 provocative questions, Markus Freitag invites you on an entertaining journey through Swiss mentality. The author combines pointed observations of everyday life with solid social science insights and holds a mirror up to our society. Insightful. Stimulating. Humorous. The result is much more than a self-test of your own Swissness – it is a lively portrait of a country, its values, and contradictions. Page by page, you discover what moves, divides, and unites people in Switzerland – and where you stand in this fascinating fabric. This book targets your innermost and constantly revolves around the surprisingly difficult question: How much Switzerland is in you? Markus Freitag is a professor of political science at the University of Bern and a columnist for the Tamedia newspapers. He grew up in the Black Forest and lives in Zurich.
