From the coauthors of the New York Times bestseller Start-Up
Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle comes the highly
anticipated follow up, The Genius of Israel, which outlines the
defining factors behind Israel's successful track record of innovation
and explaining how other nations can learn from its development.
In Start-Up Nation, Saul Singer and Dan Senor addressed the trillion
dollar question: How is it that Israel--a country of 7.1 million, only
sixty 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? Providing an astute analysis of
Israel's unique policies and culture, and practical conclusions about
how other nations could learn from its example, Start-Up Nation became
a worldwide bestseller, translated into thirty languages.
Now in their illuminating follow-up, The Genius of Israel, Senor and
Singer study the global innovation race and present a new universal
metric to evaluate where different nations stand in the quest to achieve
new levels of innovation. They analyze the favorable and unfavorable
circumstances that affect a country's chance of making a dramatic leap
forward, and illustrate how the world has greatly changed over the last
decade. Bold, timely, and remarkably insightful, Senor and Singer's
latest work shines an important light on the impressive innovative
accomplishments of Israel.
