Switzerland is a small, landlocked country with barely 8.8 million people, no oil reserves, no gold mines of global scale, and no vast cocoa plantations. Yet its economy stands as one of the most admired in the world, with a GDP approaching $977 billion and a per capita income of over $110,000.
It is a country whose strength was never in what lay beneath its soil but in the discipline, precision, and seriousness of its people and leadership. Today, it ranks among the top five nations on the Global Competitiveness Index, outperforming much larger, resource-rich countries that continue to blame everything but themselves for underdevelopment.
