Abstract
I review the su(2|1) model of electroweak interactions which is essentially based on the super Lie algebra su(2|1), thus incorporating both usual gauge fields and Higgs fields in one generalized Yang-Mills field. Special emphasis is put on the natural appearance of spontaneous symmetry breaking and other appealing features of the model like generation mixing. Also the connection of the model to noncommutative geometry is briefly discussed.
