VADUZ, Liechtenstein AP – “Who pays” asks a neon artwork in wealthy Liechtenstein’s elegant black granite cube of a museum.
That question is of more than artistic interest to the family that rules the tiny principality and their 35,000 subjects. Prince Alois agreed earlier this month to start following the rules set down by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Europe aimed at curbing tax havens – like his scenic patch of mountain valley between Switzerland and Austria, which owes much of its prosperity to its role as a place to put money.
