‎Cuentas cifradas. El misterioso mundo de la banca suiza‎

‎Espa�a: Editorial Planeta 1983. Libro. Buen estado. R�stica. 21 cm.; 347 p. Col. La Sociedad Econ�mica. T�tulo original: SAFETY IN NUMBERS. Trad. de �ngeles Mart�nez Castells. Sello de librer�a.- Como dec�a un comentarista en The Standard "existen Bancos y existen los Bancos suizos. No hay nada en el mundo arcano de la alta finanza que haya suscitado y mantenido tanto el inter�s de las gentes como las peque�as placas met�licas de los s�lidos edificios de Zurich o Ginebra". Este libro de Nicholas Faith ofrece posiblemente por primera vez una documentada y apasionante informaci�n sobre los Bancos y banqueros suizos y sobre sus clientes. El autor notable periodista financiero ha franqueado el espeso muro de discreci�n y secreto que constituye uno de los principales activos del mundo bancario suizo para explorar sus profundidades. Y lo hace precisamente tras la serie de esc�ndalos financieros de los �ltimos a�os que dieron lugar a las nuevas normas que gobiernan este famoso basti�n de la riqueza secreta. Faith parte en su informaci�n de los or�genes hist�ricos de Ginebra y de Zurich como centros bancarios -una historia que se inicia hace tres siglos- y describe el crecimiento de los modernos Bancos suizos de las m�ticas cuentas cifradas. Y del uso de Suiza como lugar de amparo frente a los impuestos y como refugio seguro para las fortunas. Los avatares que nos narra Faith son con frecuencia duros y en ocasiones tambi�n divertidos. El reparto de personajes que los protagonizan es muy nutrido: desde Voltaire hasta el sha de Persia desde Richard Nixon hasta Robert Kennedy desde los h�roes revolucionarios de Argelia hasta los jefes de la Mafia. De Gandhi al rey Faisal pasando por los dictadores del Tercer Mundo. Faith afirma categ�ricamente que la raz�n motivadora de la legislaci�n suiza que asegur� el absoluto secreto sobre las transacciones financieras no fue -como se dice con frecuencia- la de proteger el dinero de los jud�os perseguidos por los nazis en los a�os treinta. Porque los banqueros suizos protegieron tambi�n las fortunas de los nazis. Faith expone con gran detalle la pugna entre los aliados y la Banca suiza en el arreglo de cuentas que sigui� a la segunda guerra mundial. Uno de los grandes atractivos del libro de Faith es el de que recoge explica y comenta acontecimientos muy cercanos en el tiempo. Hay en la obra varios cap�tulos dedicados a las notables innovaciones registradas en la Banca suiza. Y la cierra una amplia cr�nica de los recientes esc�ndalos que han amenazado no s�lo a los Bancos suizos sino tambi�n a financieros como Tibor Rosenbaum Michele Sindona Lecler y Ernst Kuhrmeier. Todo el desdichado asunto del Chiasso-Cr�dit Suisse est� narrado aqu�. Editorial Planeta Paperback‎
