This book presents the first comprehensive history of the interplay
of public and private provision that made the Swiss 'three-pillar'
pension system into a model for the World Bank and other pension
reformers during the last two decades of the twentieth century.
Through a study of business federations', private pension
lobbyists' and insurance companies' archives, Matthieu Leimgruber
charts the century-long battle waged over the boundaries of state
and private pensions. He shows how a distinctive path towards
social provision has laid the foundation for a pension fund
industry rivalling that of the United States and the United
Kingdom. Through this comparative approach Matthieu Leimgruber is
also able to question current assumptions about the strict
dichotomy between 'Anglo-Saxon' and 'continental' models of welfare
provision. This study will appeal to scholars of twentieth-century
European history, economic history, political economy and welfare
economics.
