Le regard historique de longue durée sur les relations tendues entre les USA et la Suisse en matière de politique économique semble d'autant plus pertinent à l'heure de la guerre commerciale liées au 39% de droits de douane imposés par Trump.

Connaissez-vous T. R. Fehrenbach? Historien et journaliste texan, c'est un des premiers à avoir publié, en 1966, un récit qui explore l'essor et l'importance mondiale du système bancaire suisse. Son livre, The Swiss Banks, rencontre alors une forte opposition chez les autorités et banquiers suisses.

Lawyers and capitalism. The History of Lawyers as Key Actors in the Development of Global Capitalism
Lawyers and capitalism. The History of Lawyers as Key Actors in the Development of Global Capitalism 9 06. Mai 2025 The legal profession has long been identified as a power broker between political, corporate, state-bureaucratic and academic elites. Recent research has focused on the emergence of new professionals who are willing and able to work across national frontiers. As professional go-betweens, lawyers – alongside accountants, financial advisers or wealth managers – have become essential actors of the emerging “transnational legal field”, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions and forming a strong component of professional services firms. The objective of this workshop is threefold. First, it aims to take stock of the ongoing international and interdisciplinary debates. Second, it intends to focus on the historical dimension and to deepen our understanding of the changes over time of the legal profession and its role in the development of global capitalism. Third, it endeavors to promote an actors-centered approach of the role of law and law firms as a key component in the business world.

New article published! I look at the socio-economic profile of the supervisors of the Federal Banking Commission and those of the Swiss National Bank (1907-2008). How close were they to the financial industry? How representative of society, politics or business?
