Dr. Marc Faber back in Zurich Switzerland and in the university of Zurich where he studied economics he tells how he got influenced by the Austrian economics in the Zurich University : " well if I could go back in life I I will definitely study again economics , what I have noticed in life is if you are a lawyer or if you are a medical person you do not have the geographical freedom as I had in economics , I can practice economics anywhere in the world in Latin America in the middle East in Asia , and so forth , I could travel a lot , I have seen the entire world as a result of my knowledge in economics and so I would definitely again study economics "
"Zurich is the most beautiful and pleasant city in the world , if the weather is nice it's summer it's a lovely place it has an old city and it has a lake it has the proximity of mountains you can do sports it is relatively small so it is cozy , you can walk from A to B you do not need to take a subway so it is a perfect place so definitely I would come back here ..."
Totally share your opinion. I grew up in Zurich as well. Entered the travel industry and then set out to discover the world. Started out in Japan before moving on to Canada, the UK and then the US.
ReplyDeleteWe might have some joint acquaintances from the past. Old Asia hands. An old friend of mine who passed away a number of years ago André Reussner and Hans Lerch, now CEO of Hotelplan who worked with me at Kuoni in Japan.
As an old Zürcher, I share your opinion about our home town. Although I left forty years ago myself and spent the years since in Japan, Canada, the UK and the U.S. working mostly to market Switzerland as a tourism destination abroad which had the advantage of staying in close touch with the country while being able to live abroad.
ReplyDeleteDo the Swiss equate Austrian Economics with Libertarianism?
