As HN: Best Book to read that explains the Swiss governance System?
I often hear from people I follow like Nassim Taleb say that the Swiss government is one of the most democratic & stable.
What books can I read to properly/fully understand the Swiss government structures, institutions & way of doing things?
Who are their James Madison's i.e minds that influenced their political system?
