The Zurich Axioms

If your goal is to get rich, no matter how inexperienced you are in investing, this book can help. The Zurich Axioms is one of the greatest investment books of all time. Max Gunther teaches that you shouldn't avoid risk but learn to manage it—and enjoy it, too.

The Swiss banking system is one of the richest in the world. Millionaires from every continent invest in the country not only because of the anonymity offered by its financial institutions. Investors who know how to make money like few others through methods and principles that work anywhere, under any economic conditions.

Max Gunther reveals the secrets of an exclusive group of men who, after World War II, decided to make money by investing in various sectors, from stocks to real estate, commodities to foreign currencies. They made a lot of money and transformed Switzerland into one of the wealthiest countries.

In The Zurich Axioms , the author presents the infallible rules and principles these bankers established to reduce risk and increase profits. These precious rules, divided into 12 main and 16 secondary axioms, are a set of principles that provide a practical philosophy for realistic risk management that can be successfully followed by anyone, not just "experts."

Surprisingly simple, the Axioms are explained in a book that is not only extremely entertaining, but will also be invaluable to any investor, whether in stocks, commodities, art, antiques, or real estate, who is willing to take risks on their own terms and risk a little to gain a lot.
