This book reveals how government and its allies (like business associations) can help people to start businesses that have the potential to grow rapidly and make major contributions to the economy. Although many entrepreneurs think of government as the enemy, and many policy-makers simply ignore entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs, this volume argues that the two groups should be allies, since their goals of building a vibrant economy and new businesses are interconnected. Contributors to the volume assert that mutual education and careful attention to the design of new policies will help this alliance to grow stronger.
Examines the cooperation of Swiss banks with Nazi Germany, emphasizing Switzerland's role as financier of the Third Reich. Although pretending to be neutral, Switzerland actually helped and supported the Nazi regime, and accepted its dictates. Switzerland profited from Germany's war policy, maintaining relative independence and avoiding occupation. Criticizes the criminal behavior of Swiss bankers after the war; they pretended not to have known about Jewish accounts because they were inactive, although the accounts were balanced every year. No Swiss bank tried, on its own initiative, to find the heirs of dormant accounts. Includes a chapter by Richard Chaim Schneider, "Die Schweiz will vom Dritten Reich nichts wissen" (pp. 227-265), on the discovery in 1995 of the Swiss bank scandal regarding the dormant accounts.
