Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 21-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,961 on turnover of 11.2-billion N-T. The market made solid gains on Wednesday, despite Wall Street closing largely in negative territory overnight. Defense ministry mum on alleged Philippines warship donation plan The Ministry of National Defense Ministry is refusing to comment on reports that the government is considering gifting the Philippines a soon-to-be-decommissioned Navy warship. According to the United Daily News, the Lai administration is hoping to donate the Navy's 500-tonne-class Jin Chiang Patrol Ship to the Philippines after it's decommissioned at the end of this year. K-M-T lawmaker Ma Wen-chun is voicing concern that the reported plan to donate the warship could undermine (破壞) the safety of Taiwan fishermen operating in an area where the exclusive economic zones of the two countries overlap. No government agency has confirmed whether such a plan is under consideration and what the reason for it would be. Aftershocks possible after magnitude 5.9 quake strikes off Hualien coast The Central Weather Administration is warning of possible aftershocks over the coming days following Wednesday's magnitude 5.9 earthquake, that struck off the coast of Hualien. The earthquake was centered some 136-kilometers east of Hualien County Hall, at a depth of 13-kilometers. It was felt strongest in parts of Hualien, Yilan, Chiayi County, Changhua and Yunlin, where it measured a 2 on the weather administration's intensity scale. According to the weather administration's Seismological Center, the quake was caused by the Philippine Sea Plate moving beneath the Eurasian Plate and possible aftershocks could reach a magnitude of 5. ISRAEL SUSPENDS FLYDUBAI FLIGHTS AS MOSSAD JOINS PROBE INTO CO-PILOT SUSPECTED OF STABBING CAPTAIN ON TEL AVIV-BOUND PLANE Israel has suspended all FlyDubai flights and launched a multi-agency investigation — involving Mossad, Shin Bet and the military — after a co-pilot on a Tel Aviv-bound flight allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the incident on FlyDubai flight FZ1073 an extremely (極為) serious security breach, saying the Omani co-pilot appeared to have tried to sabotage the plane's systems before passengers and crew subdued him. The Boeing 737, carrying 174 passengers including 27 children, was diverted to the Saudi city of Tabuk after plunging more than five thousand metres in under two minutes. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv. Switzerland Glaciers Lose 5Percent Ice Volume Experts report that glaciers in Switzerland have lost 5.5% of their ice volume this year due to heat waves and low winter snowfall. The GLAMOS Swiss glacier monitoring service and Swiss Academy of Sciences released a statement Thursday, warning that Alpine glaciers can't survive (存活) long-term under these conditions. The report highlights concerns about global warming's impact on Europe, the fastest-warming continent. The record retreat of glacier ice in Switzerland occurred in 2022. Over the past five years, Swiss ice volume has declined by nearly one-fifth. This accelerated melt affects Switzerland and the continent's major rivers. That was the I.C.R.T.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.On today's podcast:(1) A pilot of a jet carrying more than 170 passengers to Tel Aviv stabbed his colleague and tried to crash the plane in what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu branded a serious security incident.(2) The UK’s domestic security service MI5 accused a Chinese academic institute of spying on Britain’s artificial intelligence research.(3) France’s government is set to unveil plans to narrow the budget deficit sharply, kicking off a debate that risks toppling the prime minister and stoking investor concern over the country’s debts.(4) Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she plans to ask the European Union for greater fiscal flexibility after the region’s top economies showed a surge in inflation caused by high energy prices.(5) Britain’s Labour government is falling behind on its ambition to borrow more money from regular savers, potentially raising the amount it needs to raise from gilt markets.(6) Swiss glaciers lost over 5% of their ice volume following a hot summer and at least two disappeared altogether, an acceleration of melting that threatens the tourism lifeblood of Alpine communities.Podcast Conversation: Elite $30,000 Sheepdogs Are Putting Tiny UK Town on Global MapSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Formex holds a unique place in the Swiss watch industry. The brand was born in the early 2000s with a proprietary case suspension system and designs that expressed the origins of its name 'forme extrême' (extreme shapes in French). But the recession spurred by the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 dealt a near fatal blow to the brand and it entered a period of relative dormancy.Then in 2016, Formex was taken over by a group backed by one of its suppliers, Dexel, a Swiss component maker specializing in bracelets, clasps and cases as well as dials at its subsidiary Cadranor. Raphael Granito, now in his mid-thirties, is part of the family business behind Dexel and led the take over and revival of the Formex marque. He has steered the brand's development ever since and a decade later, Formex is leveraging its manufacturing savoir-faire and research and development skills from Dexel to produce innovative and approachable-priced Swiss Made watches. The brand evolution culminated recently with the Aria, a high-end integrated bracelet titanium sport watch with an, ultra-thin, micro-rotor manufacture movement designed by Horage, priced below CHF 6,000. That's a significant step up compared to the CHF 1,800 average price point for its watches. Granito outlines how the brand has grown and connected with more customers, operating mainly outside the traditional retail structure. Still a family business, he hired his best friend from university to lead marketing and sales efforts. Formex has distinguished itself offering upscale finishing and components, including cases, bracelets innovative clasps and stone dials that include meteorite options. It's approach to design and engineering innovation, that Granito calls 'designeering,' has certainly struck a chord with a watch enthusiasts, particularly in the U.S., now the Swiss brand's largest market.

I sat down recently with Chris Berta, an executive search partner, to talk about a question he has been chewing on for two and a half years: if AI takes away entry-level jobs, where do people learn their craft, and how do they ever become leaders?It is the kind of question that sounds abstract until you realize nobody has a good answer. Chris has been asking people leaders for years. No one does.His starting point is the old 70-20-10 rule of thumb: roughly 70% of what you learn comes from doing the work, not reading about it. If the doing gets automated, the learning has nowhere to happen. His proposal is a more deliberate apprenticeship model. Map out a project, define the expected outcome, do the work, then run a real post-mortem where everyone talks honestly about what went wrong and what they learned. Not the glossed-over kind. The real kind.I love the line of thought, and my first reaction was to wonder whether companies will actually pay for it. It reminded me of living in Switzerland, where apprenticeship is a deep part of the culture. I asked my barber there how it worked, and she told me the government pays the apprentice while she trains them. Free labor, basically. I asked why she was not doing it. “It just slows me down,” she said.That is the whole problem in one sentence. Training an apprentice slows you down, and in a market where everyone is racing to ship faster with AI, nobody wants to be the one who slows down. You would expect the associate product management and rotational PM programs to be growing and getting more intentional right now. They are not.Chris is honest that he does not know the solution either, but he named the deeper incentive problem. It reminded me of healthcare: private insurers do not invest much in preventative care because the average person stays on a policy for about three years, so the payoff lands on the next insurer. Companies face the same math with training. Why invest two years in someone who will take the skills to a competitor? The Swiss answer is that the government decided it is in the country's interest to train the next generation and subsidized it accordingly. Whether the U.S. is in a policy-making mood right now is, shall we say, an open question.We also talked about what the hiring market looks like from Chris's seat. The pendulum has swung to employers. Internal recruiters are drowning in volume, and since every resume is now ChatGPT-polished to the same job description, candidates all look identical. A friend at Amazon told Chris he does not even look at careers-page applicants anymore. He works his network and asks the referrer real questions. That is where Chris thinks executive search gets more valuable, not less: judgment about who fits, not keyword matching. He told me about a placement at Bloom Energy where the candidate's title did not fit the role at all, but the projects she had run were exactly what the role needed. “It wasn't a keyword match,” she told him afterward. “It was a goal match.”On org design, Chris is seeing real compression. Middle management layers are being knocked out. At Microsoft and Oracle the cuts skewed senior, partly because it is a bigger cost save. The role I am hiring for right now would have been a people manager a few years ago. Today it is a very senior IC. Chris is seeing the same pattern, plus new shapes emerging: CROs combining sales and marketing, and someone senior owning AI implementation at more and more companies.His phrase for the current moment is “people plus AI.” You cannot hand the whole thing to the model. You need the human in the loop with oversight and editorial vision, or, as he put it, everything just looks like everyone else's slop.We are planning to reconnect in six to twelve months and see how it is shaking out. My bet is we are still mid-sort, and the companies that figure out the talent pipeline question first will have a real edge. This is a public episode.

Germans are electing a new parliament Sunday after a campaign focused on the state of Europe's biggest economy and calls to curb migration.德国人将于周日选举新一届议会，此前竞选活动聚焦欧洲最大经济体的状况，呼吁遏制移民。Uncertainty has grown rapidly about the future of Ukraine and the strength of Europe's alliance with the United States. VOA's Cristina Menenti has more.乌克兰的未来以及欧洲与美国的联盟实力的不确定性迅速增加。美国之音新闻记者克里斯蒂娜·梅内蒂（Cristina Menenti）将为您带来更多报道。The opposition leader and frontrunner Friedrich Merz vowed Saturday to revive thestagnanteconomy and defend Europe's interests in the face of a confrontational U.S. administration.反对党领袖、领跑者弗里德里希·默茨周六誓言要重振停滞不前的经济，并在美国政府对抗的情况下捍卫欧洲的利益。Meanwhile, hundreds protested for and against far-right Alternative for Germany's leader Alice Weidel in her Swiss town of residence.与此同时，数百人在德国极右翼选择党领导人艾丽丝·魏德尔的居住地瑞士小镇举行了支持和反对她的抗议活动。"We're really concerned about what's going on everywhere in Europe, about the rise of far-right movements."“我们非常担心欧洲各地发生的事情，担心极右翼运动的崛起。”Chancellor Olaf Scholz's center-left Social Democrats have shown little sign of coming back from a large poll deficit after the chancellor's three-party coalition collapsed in November.在总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨的三党联盟于11月破裂后，中左翼社会民主党几乎没有迹象表明会从巨大的民调失利中恢复过来。That led to the election being held seven months ahead of schedule. Cristina Menenti, VOA News.这导致选举比原计划提前了七个月举行。美国之音新闻记者克里斯蒂娜·梅内蒂报道。A federal judge has largely blocked sweeping executive orders from President Donald Trump that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.一名联邦法官基本阻止了唐纳德·特朗普总统的全面行政命令，该命令旨在终止政府对促进多样性、公平和包容性计划的支持。Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore found that they likely violate free speech rights and granted an injunction blocking them as a lawsuit plays out.巴尔的摩法官亚当·阿贝尔森（Adam Abelson）发现这些命令可能侵犯言论自由权，并在诉讼期间下达禁令阻止这些命令。The city of Baltimore and higher education groups sued, arguing the executive orders are unconstitutional and in overreach of presidential authority.巴尔的摩市和高等教育团体提起诉讼，称这些行政命令违宪，超越了总统的权力。The Trump administration has argued that the president was targeting only DEI programs that violate federal civil rights laws.特朗普政府辩称，总统只针对违反联邦民权法的DEI计划。Elon Musk is cutting jobs at the auto safety agency that oversees his Tesla company. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.埃隆·马斯克正在削减监管特斯拉公司的汽车安全机构的职位。美联社记者唐娜·沃德（Donna Warder）报道。Elon Musk's cost-cutting team, DOGE, is cutting jobs at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.埃隆·马斯克的成本削减团队DOGE正在削减国家公路交通安全管理局的职位。That's the agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving Tesla vehicles. The NHTSA says the number of eliminated positions is modest.这是监管特斯拉的机构，已对涉及特斯拉汽车的致命事故展开调查。国家公路交通安全管理局表示，裁员人数不多。The administration has mandated that Tesla and other automakers using self-driving technology report crash data on vehicles, a requirement that Musk has criticized.政府要求特斯拉等使用自动驾驶技术的汽车制造商报告车辆碰撞数据，马斯克对这一要求提出了批评。He's accused the agency of holding back progress on self-driving technology with its investigations and recalls. I'm Donna Warder.他指责该机构通过调查和召回阻碍了自动驾驶技术的进步。我是唐娜·沃德。French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday a knife attack that killed one and injured three in eastern France on Saturday was "Islamist terrorism" after France's anti-terrorism prosecutor's office confirmed it was investigating the case.法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙周六表示，周六在法国东部发生的持刀袭击事件造成一人死亡，三人受伤，这是“伊斯兰恐怖主义”，此前法国反恐检察官办公室证实正在调查此案。The PNAT prosecutor's office said in a statement a man attacked local police officers in the city of Mulhouse shouting "Allah Akbar" on Saturday afternoon.PNAT检察官办公室在一份声明中表示，周六下午，一名男子在米卢斯市袭击当地警察，高喊“真主至大”。The prosecutor's office added a passerby was killed trying tointervenewhile three police officers were injured.

U.S. equity futures are lower, with S&P 500 futures down 0.4%. Bonds are also weaker. The U.S. 10-year yield is up to 5.2%, while the 10-year Bund yield is 3 bps higher at 3.6%. The dollar is mostly firmer, showing modest outperformance against the yen and Swiss franc. Oil is higher, with WTI up roughly 1.3% and trading above $93.50/bbl. Gold is lower, industrial metals are mostly weaker, and bitcoin is also under pressure. Bond markets remain under pressure, with the usual drivers in focus: higher oil prices, resilient U.S. growth, upside inflation risks, worsening fiscal trajectories, and expectations for a more hawkish monetary policy path. There is also some attention on curve flattening and the potentially negative signals it may send about the economic outlook.Companies mentioned: UBS, Fox Factory Holding, Invesco

Eighteen months after Liberation Day, we look at where Swiss watch exports stand. Shipments to the U.S. are down 8.3% year to date but still up 8.8% versus 2024. Mainland China is down 23% from two years ago. Global exports are still up 1.7%, carried by the UK, India, Europe and South America. The growth is coming from watches over $50,000, while the $1,000 to $10,000 middle of the market gets hollowed out. Collector taste is moving away from steel sports watches and toward dress watches, complications and handmade pieces. Rolex's new Padellone annual calendar is a business move. Starting at $59,000, it's another sign that Rolex wants to compete with Patek Philippe while Tudor handles Omega. We ask whether it will open buyers up to classical dress watches or stay inside the Rolex world, and which annual calendars we'd buy for the money instead. Then there's Breguet. Under CEO Gregory Kissling, the brand has made some of its best product in years: the new Classique tourbillons and updated Traditions. At the same time, it has cut dozens of U.S. retailers in 18 months and is moving to company-owned boutiques. Lange, AP and Rolex all made that shift from a position of strength. We look at how Swatch Group mismanaged Breguet for decades, why the Hayeks are still involved, what happens to longtime Breguet clients when their dealer disappears, and what we'd do differently if we ran the brand.

Devon watches didn't emerge from the slow, methodical traditions of Swiss horology; they were sparked in California, where designer Scott Devon looked at the quiet world of ticking gears and wondered why time couldn't be put on display—why it couldn't move in a way people could actually watch. Instead of hiring master watchmakers, he gathered aerospace engineers, people accustomed to designing machines that survive pressure, speed, and the unforgiving logic of physics. Their assignment wasn't to refine an old idea; it was to dismantle the assumptions behind it. What they created wasn't a reinterpretation of timekeeping—it was a complete reinvention, built on the belief that the mechanics of time shouldn't hide behind a dial but should take center stage. From that vision grew a philosophy rooted in transparency, daring design, and the simple refusal to let time remain invisible.

South Korea's Gimcheon Sangmu are one of the most curious clubs in world football, with players only allowed to stay for 18 months while they complete their military service. They also cannot play in AFC competitions and are 100% certain to be relegated from the K-League this season, even if they were to finish top of the table. So are the players footballers, soldiers or both? Is it actually compulsory to perform the military salute when they score a goal? Why are they doomed to relegation in 2026 whatever happens? And what major change is set to come to the K-League soon?

Ghislaine Maxwell bought the secluded 156-acre New Hampshire estate known as “Tucked Away” for about $1.1 million in December 2019, roughly seven months before the FBI arrested her there. Newly released Justice Department records showed that Swiss banking giant UBS transferred nearly $8 million from an account tied to a trust associated with Maxwell shortly before the purchase, with the money then moving through a series of trusts and financial institutions before reaching the entity that bought the property. Maxwell used the alias “Janet Marshall” during the transaction and surrounded herself with private security at the estate as federal investigators closed in.The timing of UBS's involvement drew particular scrutiny because the bank processed the transfer after federal investigators had already issued it a grand jury subpoena seeking information about Maxwell's finances as part of a child sex-trafficking investigation. UBS had also told Maxwell in August 2019 that it intended to end its relationship with her, yet records indicated the bank continued handling substantial assets connected to her as money was moved out. The documents showed UBS had managed as much as roughly $19 million for Maxwell, raising broader questions about how major financial institutions continued servicing figures tied to Epstein even as criminal scrutiny intensified.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How a Swiss bank helped Epstein accomplice Maxwell buy her hideout, 'Tucked Away,' in NH | Crime | unionleader.com

Más allá de la simple casualidad, propusieron el monismo de doble aspecto: psique y materia como dos caras de una misma realidad indivisa, conectadas no por causa física, sino por un significado compartido.

This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by longtime watch industry veteran Gary Girdvainis. Drawing on a career that stretches back to the early days of International Watch magazine, Gary reflects on decades spent inside the watch business and how dramatically the relationship between brands, media, retailers, and consumers has changed. Ariel and Gary discuss the realities behind watch journalism, the growing influence brands have sought over media, the shift from traditional publishing to today's crowded creator landscape, and why simply following the Swiss playbook does not always lead to success.The conversation also goes behind the scenes of the business itself, including Gary's experiences working alongside Danny Govberg, his time with Franck Muller, and what those roles revealed about inventory, distribution, marketing, and the less visible side of the Swiss watch industry. They explore why some European brands continue to struggle with the American market, the need for a major consumer facing watch show in the United States, and Gary's current work with Nivada Grenchen and FTS. The episode closes with a deeper look at American watch manufacturing, the enormous challenges of producing components domestically, and why building a truly Made in USA watch is far more complicated than it might seem.Keep up with Gary and learn more about his work with FTS and Nivada Grenchen:FTS - https://www.ftsusa.us/ Nivada Grenchen - https://nivadagrenchenofficial.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

The Idiot (Part 03 and 04)Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881)Translated by Eva M. Martin ( - fl.1915)The extraordinary child-adult Prince Myshkin, confined for several years in a Swiss sanatorium suffering from severe epilepsy, returns to Russia to claim his inheritance and to find a place in healthy human society. The teeming St Petersburg community he enters is far from receptive to an innocent like himself, despite some early successes and relentless pursuit by grotesque fortune-hunters. His naive gaucheries give rise to extreme reactions among his new acquaintance, ranging from anguished protectiveness to mockery and contempt. But even before reaching the city, during the memorable train journey that opens the novel, he has encountered the demonic Rogozhin, the son of a wealthy merchant – who is in thrall to the equally doomed Nastasia Filippovna: beautiful, capricious and destructively neurotic, she joins with the two weirdly contrasted men in a spiraling dance of death… (Summary by Martin Geeson)Genre(s): Literary FictionLanguage: EnglishKeyword(s): romance , Russian Literature , dostoyevsky , naivety

We have become much more of a cashless society in the last few years. That turns out to be a good thing because cash is really disgusting. Listen as I explain just how disgusting and you are not going to like it! Source: Elizabeth Scott, author of How to Prevent Food Poisoning (https://amzn.to/3XKAvHf). Horses are the “Swiss army knife of animals.” They can do so much. Consequently, over the last 5,000 years they have done more to shape our lives and alter human history than any other animal. If it weren't for horses, your life today would be considerably different. That's according to my guest, Timothy Winegard who has researched the remarkable impact horses have had on us. He is author of the book, The Horse: A Galloping History of Humanity (https://amzn.to/4grRHZa). Listen as Timothy takes you on a fascinating journey through equine history. Being lazy isn't considered a good thing by most people. But maybe it is. If you want to achieve your goals and be successful, there is a great case to be made for being lazy some of the time That's according to Todd McElroy. He is a researcher, educator, and author of the book The Science of Laziness (Achieving More by Doing Less) (https://amzn.to/4e1R5rw). Listen as Todd explains the power of strategic laziness and revels exactly how to do it. In the heat of summer, air conditioning can be wonderful. Still, it can also be the source of concern, particularly when it comes to weight gain and obesity.

MSC Cruises' MSC World Asia has completed final sea trials off western France ahead of delivery by Chantiers de l'Atlantique on November 25, 2026. The 216,638-gross-ton ship measures 333.3 metres and carries up to 6,764 passengers in 2,614 cabins, with a naming ceremony set for Le Havre on November 28 and a first passenger sailing from Barcelona on December 4. In Florida, Marco Island City Council approved three Rose Marina requests on September 10, 2026, clearing a 200-seat waterfront restaurant, expanded parking and reconfigured docks, with the new dock plan limiting the marina to three buses and 150 passengers at a time. Opponents raised traffic and environmental concerns over Factory Bay, and Vice Chair Rene Champagne questioned how passenger vessel calls began in December 2023 without separate city approval. And the Golden Horizon, the square-rigged sailing cruise ship built by Brodosplit and laid up in Split since 2022, has been sold for £110 million to an unidentified Swiss company that operates around 100 vessels.

In this episode:Cross-country skiing gives a fantastic endurance base without the pounding — and Sheila Kealey swears by it, using winter ski training to crush Ironman and 70.3 age groups, so yeah, skiing → triathlon actually works. I'm Jeff Sankoff and we geek out about how non‑impact, full‑body skiing sets you up for spring races, why keeping a little running in the winter matters, and how waxing, skin skis and snowmaking all play into whether you actually get to train. We also take a hard, sarcastic look at KA-EX, the Swiss‑looking recovery drink that promises cortisol salvation but delivers tiny doses of phosphatidylserine and an expensive invoice — long story short, skip it unless you want to flush money down a very stylish drain. I give a race report from Nice (beautiful scenery, killer descent that probably shouldn't decide world champs, indoor T2 quirks, hot aid stations) and we debate whether a technical downhill should crown a champion. Finally Juliette and I answer listener mail, mock the marketing nonsense, and invite you to tell us whether you think Chattanooga can measure up to Nice — spoiler: it ain't Nice, but we'll still argue about it.Segments:[15:45]- Medical Mailbag: KA-EX[41:40]- Interview: Sheila KealeyLinks@sheilakealey on Instagram

In most of the world you do not get to choose who inherits your money. Across continental Europe, Latin America, and countries governed by Islamic law, a minimum share of your estate will be reserved for your children, your spouse, and in some places your surviving parents. Write a will that ignores them and the law overrules you. If you want a head start in life, choose your parents carefully.Switzerland changed the rules in January 2023. The compulsory share for children fell by one third and the share reserved for surviving parents disappeared altogether. In this week's VoxTalk, Marius Brülhart (University of Lausanne, CEPR) tells Tim Phillips how he had been following the reform with no way of observing its effects, until a website that helps Swiss people write their wills online offered him its anonymous data. People who were handed more freedom gave less to their children and their parents, and more to spouses and partners. About one third of every liberated franc went to recipients outside the family altogether. Liberalising the law spreads wealth without taxing anyone: politically, though maybe not democratically, attractive. The research behind this episode:Brulhart, Marius, and Laia Soler. 2026. "Unfree Wills: Inheritance Rules, Bequest Motives, and Wealth Diffusion." CEPR Discussion Paper 21811. The CEPR version is gated.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Marius Brulhart. 2026. "Loosening inheritance law." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestMarius Brulhart is Professor of Economics at HEC Lausanne, University of Lausanne, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research. His research spans public finance, regional and urban economics, and international trade, with a long-running interest in how Swiss taxpayers and testators respond to the rules they are given. He has advised the World Bank, the OECD, the European Commission, and the Swiss government.Research cited in this episodeProtected heirs. Swiss law, like that of most civil-law countries, reserves compulsory minimum shares of an estate for close family. Before 2023 those categories were children and other direct descendants, spouses, and surviving parents. An unmarried testator with children could freely allocate only 25% of their estate; the rest belonged to the children by law.The 2023 reform. Parliament passed the change in December 2020 and it came into force on 1 January 2023. Minimum shares for direct descendants were cut by one third, those for surviving parents were abolished, and the share reserved for a surviving spouse was left alone. Averaged across family types in the data, the freely attributable portion of an estate rose by 19 percentage points, from 39% to 58%.DeinAdieu.ch. The Swiss online service that generated the data, funded by charities seeking legacies. Users answer questions about their family situation, the tool limits their choices to what the law allows, and they set the shares with a set of sliders. The sample covers 16,887 completed forms submitted between January 2020 and March 2024, which straddles the reform.Bunching. Before the reform, a large share of testators gave their protected heirs exactly the legal minimum and not a franc more; 52% of testators with children and 72% of those with living parents had been giving more than they wanted to. When the minimum fell, so did their allocations.Reference dependence. The whole distribution moved, not just the people who had been pinned to the legal floor. Testators who had voluntarily given their children more than the law required also gave less after the reform, which suggests the legal minimum works as a mental benchmark for generosity even when it is not binding.Marginal diffusion propensity. Brulhart and Soler's term for the share of each newly discretionary franc that goes to nonrelatives and charities. Their central estimate is 0.33. Applied to the whole population it implies that the reform moved more wealth outside family dynasties than Switzerland's inheritance taxes do, though Swiss inheritance tax is unusually light, with children inheriting tax free in most cantons.More VoxTalks Economics episodesWealth Taxes.

In this episode, John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate Corp. breaks down First Phosphate's September 16, 2026 announcement that it has received a Letter of Support from Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) for approximately USD 212.5 million to help fund Swiss machinery, equipment, goods, and services for its igneous phosphate mine and processing facility in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Québec. Per the company's PEA, First Phosphate's total capital cost for the mine build is $675 million CAD, or approximately $490 million USD, a figure that already incorporates a 20% contingency. Of that total, two non-dilutive financing sources are currently in play: EIFO (Denmark) at €170 million, or roughly $195 million USD, and SERV (Switzerland) at $212.5 million USD. Combined, these two sources total approximately $410 million USD, covering about 85% of the project's $490 million USD capex requirement. That would leave only around $80 million USD to be funded through equity. If the financing comes together as outlined, John says it would be "extremely non-dilutive," creating what he describes as "a real torque on the stock" by sharply limiting shareholder dilution going forward.

What if the choice between endless war and an impossible two-state solution is a false one? David Beito and Israeli peace activist Phil Saunders make the case for a radically decentralized alternative for Israel and Palestine—modeled on Switzerland's cantons, where hostile religious, ethnic, and linguistic communities learned to share a country without surrendering local self-government.
