Start-up Nation
What the world can learn from Israel's meteoric economic success. Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel -- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources-- produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-- all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues.

The Genius of Israel
How has a small nation of 9 million people, forced to fight for its existence and security since its founding and riven by ethnic, religious, and economic divides, proven resistant to so many of the societal ills plaguing other wealthy democracies? Why do Israelis have among the world's highest life expectancies and lowest rates of "deaths of despair" from suicide and substance abuse? Why is Israel's population young and growing while all other wealthy democracies are aging and shrinking? How can it be that Israel, according to a United Nations ranking, is the fourth happiest nation in the world? Why do Israelis tend to look to the future with hope, optimism, and purpose while the rest of the West struggles with an epidemic of loneliness, teen depression, and social decline? Dan Senor and Saul Singer, the writers behind the international bestseller Start-Up Nation, have long been students of the global innovation race. But as they spent time with Israel's entrepreneurs and political leaders, soldiers and students, scientists and activists, ultra-Orthodox Jews, Tel Aviv techies, and Israeli Arabs, they realized that they had missed what really sets Israel apart.

Gerald Saul: Legend in His Own Mind
Gerald Saul: Legend in His Own Mind tells a story that spans the first forty years of life with mystery, adventure, sadness, love, philosophy, and travel of a person who is a legend in his own mind. It begins with the family background of a single parent mother of five, goes on to tell of the life on a small West Indian island, continues into England, travels to German then to the endurance and the struggle of life on a kibbutz in Israel, and ends on the continent of Australia. It delves into the working life of an individual from being a paperboy to factory worker, salesperson, student, banker, police officer, youth worker, businessman, and teacher. The individual is not politically correct, uses women for pleasure, is immoral but charming, and is a villain and a hero. Gerald Saul: Legend in His Own Mind tackles the challenges of growing up without guidance, questioning one’s morals, coping with discrimination, and reasoning the experiences in life and the hardships of loneliness, and much more.
The Israel Test
In this book, George Gilder claims that the reason there is such hatred and crticism of the current state of Israel is because these critics are envious of Israel’s sudden rise as a world power. This, he claims, is an inherent quality of Judaism, which, “perhaps more than any other religion, favors capitalist activity and provides a rigorous moral framework for it.” Those who currently hate Israel’s economy, such as surrounding countries in the Middle East and Western European nations that are facing socialist decline, have failed the “Israel Test” because they seek to tear down this country’s success, and America’s ability and desire to defend Israel will define our future survival as a nation: “If Israel is destroyed,” he says, “capitalist Europe will likely die as well, and America, as the epitome of productive and creative capitalism spurred by Jews, will be in jeopardy.”

Start Up Nation
Como pode Israel, com apenas 7,1 milhões de pessoas, sem recursos naturais, cercado de inimigos e em permanente estado de guerra, gerar mais start-ups do que Japão, Índia, Coreia, Canadá e Reino Unido? A partir de exemplos dos mais destacados inventores e investidores, os especialistas em geopolítica Dan Senor e Saul Singer descrevem neste livro como uma cultura forjada na adversidade gerou uma singular combinação de intensa inovação e empreendedorismo.
