Le destin d\u2019Alfred Escher est largement li\u00e9 et embl\u00e9matique de celui de la Suisse moderne.<\/p>\n

L\u2019entrepreneur et politicien n\u00e9 le 20 f\u00e9vrier 1819 a \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019un des premiers conseillers nationaux du jeune Etat f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Au cours d\u2019une carri\u00e8re politique de plus de trois d\u00e9cennies, il a fond\u00e9 Credit Suisse, l\u2019Ecole polytechnique f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Zurich (EPFZ) et construit le tunnel du Gothard.<\/p>\n

Ce titan qui a pass\u00e9 sa vie \u00e0 b\u00e2tir des r\u00e9seaux \u2013 ferroviaires, \u00e9conomiques et politiques \u2013 continue de susciter de l’int\u00e9r\u00eat 200 ans apr\u00e8s sa mort.<\/p>\n

Son histoire comporte aussi sa part d\u2019ombre: une partie de la fortune de sa famille provenait d\u2019une plantation de caf\u00e9 \u00e0 Cuba qui employait des esclaves. Un aspect revisit\u00e9 par de r\u00e9cents travaux d\u2019historiens.<\/p>\n

Le Temps<\/em> donne la parole \u00e0 Joseph Jung. Professeur titulaire de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Fribourg et professeur invit\u00e9 de plusieurs universit\u00e9s, il est l\u2019auteur enthousiaste et tr\u00e8s peu critique d\u2019une biographie d\u2019Alfred Escher. Une vision tr\u00e8s (n\u00e9o)lib\u00e9rale du personnage.<\/p>\n
