This book was first published in 1966. It was surprising that so
small and so remote a country as Switzerland should have played
such an important part in the industrial revolution on the
Continent in the nineteenth century. A lack of natural resources
and basic raw materials and population of 1,687,000 in 1817,
faraway trade ports, and until 1848 no real central government with
the administrative structure to support expansion of manufacturers.
However, the people were hardworking, thrifty and high standards of
workmanship; and had good relations with France and Germany, which
saw the watchmakers, silkweavers and chocolate crafters start to
thrive. Johann Conrad Fischer was typical of the entrepreneurs who
laid the foundations of Switzerland's prosperity with his
steelworks.
