That's because over the course of writing about 30 books, serving for close to three decades in the Swiss parliament, and relentlessly crusading for left-wing causes in his free time, Ziegler has made a career of unsparing criticism of his home country, and its outsize influence on the rest of the world.”—Atossa Araxia Abrahamian‘Here lives the Monster’s Brain’: the Man who Exposed Switzerland’s Dirty Secrets ><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/feb/13/here-lives-the-monsters-brain-the-man-who-exposed-switzerlands-dirty-secrets" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/feb/13/here-lives-the-monsters-brain-the-man-who-exposed-switzerlands-dirty-secrets</a><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/JeanZiegler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeanZiegler</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/intellectual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intellectual</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Switzerland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Switzerland</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/UN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UN</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/TradePolicies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradePolicies</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/coups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coups</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Marxism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Marxism</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revolution</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/criticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#criticism</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/secrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#secrets</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/mission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mission</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Congo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congo</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DRC</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/kleptocrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kleptocrats</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wealth</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Geneva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geneva</a>
