On the Obscenity of Wealth

Switzerland is a small and very rich country. One in ten billionaires in the world lives here. How do the super-rich live? What do they think? What impact do they leave in Switzerland? And who benefits or suffers from them? These and other questions will be answered by the "Erfreuliche Universität" at this colorful evening event "Of Huge Wealth," with guests from luxury research, luxury gastronomy, politics, and sociology.
