Sample Quotes from the book include:
 
“One must acknowledge the ability of Nicolas Hayek to mobilize his business network and personal resources in a way that maximize financial returns not just for himself but also his partners. Ultimately these skills made him a billionaire.”
 
  • “Pretending to be Robin Hood while representing the establishment”
  • “the reliance on the “Swissness” premium also led to complacency”
  • “Hayek must of known that ASUAG was not in dire state but actually a goldmine”
     
  • “a state monopoly essentially fell into private hands and the consequences for the industry as a whole are felt to date”
     
  • “both Hayek and Jobs (Steve) were strongly focused on ruthlessly taking advantage of their market power and were known to be arrogant and vain”
  • “Nicolas Hayek merely inherited a former state monopoly that he later converted into a private monopoly”
  • “Nicolas Hayek was brought into the watch business by the establishment”
  • “It was not Nicolas Hayek who revolutionized the watch business with the development and successful commercialization of the Swatch, but Ernst Thomke and his team.”
  • “The Swatch Group continues to rely on extracting monopoly rents”
  • “The Hayek family does not seem to worry because its members have reason to believe that Swiss corporatism will protect their business, allegedly in the “public interest”
