Abstract
What does Switzerland have that makes it immune to the problems of the welfare state which we have described in Part I of this book? We have chosen to focus on welfare dependency as one key problem, but careful analysis suggests that welfarisation is only one of a whole complex of inter-related social problems which Switzerland apparently has avoided. It is as if all the Swiss had got together and agreed to do everything possible to make their members maximally productive.
