For more than a decade now the abbreviation LIE has been flickering on TV screens whenever Alpine competitions are broadcast. Since the 1980 Winter Olympics, what LIE stands for is generally known. Over Liechtenstein itself, however, only little - and usually erroneous - is known. Most people imagine the principality to be an enchanted idyll, a country known from stamp albums or postcards or as a tax paradise. The fact that Liechtenstein represents a model state, a social example from which fundamentals can be learned, becomes quite evident for the first time in 'This is Liechtenstein' by Manfred Schlapp, Professor at the Vaduz Gymnasium. The book provides food for thought in many respects for its readers, especially those interested in social affairs and economics, for the Principality of Liechtenstein, a central European mini-state - the last of the 343 representatives of the former Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation - embodies in the mantle of a monarchy a living democracy in which every citizen plays his part. The economy prospers within such a structure. With the motto "Green Light for Go-Getters", the principality successfully changed within a few decades from a poor agricultural country to the most highly industrialized nation on earth. Economic experts call Liechtenstein - "the Kuwait of Europe".
