About

Automatically translated from German

Professors Tobias Straumann and Andrea Weidemann explore how Zurich became one of the world's major financial centres despite lacking natural resources. They discuss the contributions of the ETH, Swiss neutrality, sport and the art market to the city's prosperity. The lecture takes place in the National Museum and draws on objects spanning 5000 years of Zurich's history.
