This New York Times bestseller explores what the world can learn from Israel's meteoric economic success.
With a Foreword by Shimon Peres
Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion-dollar question: How is it that Israelâa country of seven.one million, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resourcesâproduces 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, Dan Senor and Saul Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informalityâall 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.

"A compelling case study, delivered with insightful analysis . . . an accomplishment, not simply for exposing the roots of Israel's success, but showing what the Israeli case might teach the rest of the world." âUSA Today
"Bracing . . . has huge relevance thinking about America's renewal." âNew Republic
