By Dan Senior and Saul Singer (Grand Central Publishing, 2009), this book for good reason captured favorable attention on major American television networks. Publishers Weekly notes that the authors “track Israel’s economic prowess using a number of factors, including the social networks and leadership training provided by Israel’s mandatory military and reserve service, a culture of critique fostered by centuries of Jewish tradition and an open immigration policy for Jews that continually restocks Israel’s population with motivated people from around the world—all of which foster a business climate in which risk is embraced and good ideas are given a chance to grow.”
