What a story! Globalization, cars and industry in Valais

Globalization, big business and their political influence are hot topics today. But to understand these issues, it is essential to return to the historical roots of these phenomena. Since the end of the 19th century, multinationals, including Swiss companies, have played a key role in global political and economic dynamics.

In this evening's program, we'll look at how large corporations have shaped power over time, influencing economic policies. The history of local industries, particularly in Valais, will help us understand the links between globalization and the regional economy.
