'but the pressures [on Swiss journalists] not to enquire to closely, not to say the unsayable, remain stronger in Switzerland that elsewhere because of the narrow and close knit nature of the society. Faith, Safety in Numbers page 32. Faith
The Theology Company, home of social broadband.
'Similar pressures in other countries have bred a whole school of irreverent journals - like the Canard Enchaine in France or Private Eye in Britain - systematically engaged in debunking of accepted truths, the systematic listing of 'naked emperors''. Faith, page 33.
'... the amazingly lax moral framework in which the banker's operated went largely unquestioned.'
'Maybe Mr Nussbaumer can cut corners in his Mercedes, but you must not follow on your moped,' Faith page 35.
The fundamental step in socio-religious reform is reform of our system of values. Given the values, economists can work out what is best to do. A neutral assumption is that everything is of equal value. More complex assumptions assign

The power of Mao can be understood as multidimensional ferromagnetism in which some random event allows a certain assembly of particles to move into a common state (spin up, conforming to the new (political) regime). Systems move to states of low energy, such as a monarchic dictatorship might be, but the force of oppression creates its own energy, which, skillfully applied, can introduce a new low energy state. More specifically, we examine the prevalence of various states by applying statistical mechanics (mathematics) to a certain set of 'Basis ' states. [there is a tension between energy and entropy parametrized by the 'Gibbs free energy'. Frank L Lambert]

| Faith, Nicholas, Safety in Numbers: The Mysterious World of Swiss Banking, Viking Press 1982 Jacket: 'For centuries Swiss banks have offered a secure refuge for the funds of moneyed people who have private reasons for hiding their wealth or who are reluctant (or afraid) to keep their assets in their own countries. ... In recent years, however ... the age old inviolability and secrecy have begin to change. As Nicholas Faith is first to show in this remarkable book, international wealth and international tax evasion may never be the same.' Amazon back |
