Synopsis

World famous economist and tech guru George Gilder reveals Israel as an emerging technology powerhouse, second only to the U.S. and far surpassing all European rivals in launching new industry-leading hi-tech firms. Gilder calls Israel the leading battleground for capitalism and freedom today, hated by the Left for the same reasons as the U.S.: because Israel's freedom and success inspires envy from the failed states that surround her.

The Israel Test spoke to me with unexpected power. Apart from being brilliantly, fiercely written, its merit lies in clarifying, in a totally new, secular, and intuitive way, why Israel matters.
