Pascal Couchepin and Philippe Nantermod debate liberalism
The book La suite des idées, published by Editions Favre last March, could be seen as a simple political dialogue between two prominent liberal-radical personalities from the Valais, one a former President of the Confederation, the other a National Councillor. The book is much more than that: it offers genuine, practical reflections on liberalism. It gives a good idea of the burning questions that this family of thought cannot ignore, at a time when the individual, merit and responsibility are being called into question. Pascal Couchepin opens the doors of his office in Martigny, where he and Philippe Nantermod discussed a wide range of topics.
