The Israel Test
"George Gilder's global best-seller Wealth & Poverty made the moral case for capitalism. Now Gilder makes that case for Israel, portraying a conflict of barbarism, envy, and death against civilization, creativity, and life." If we allow Israel to be quelled or destroyed, we will be succumbing to forces targeting capitalism and freedom everywhere. The Israel test is ultimately a test of our own will to triumph over enemies who hate us, as they hate Israel, for what is best within us.

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. David Klinghoffer - The Jerusalem Post 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.
