World Leader for the 21st Century

Israel's Genius Goes Largely Unreported
[and That's Our Loss]

George Gilder Writes of Silicon Israel [click to read] in City Journal.

"The most precious resource in the world economy is human genius, which we may define as the ability to devise significant inventions that enhance survival and prosperity. At any one time, genius is embodied in just a few score thousand people, a creative minority that accounts for most human accomplishment and wealth. Cities and nations rise and thrive when they welcome entrepreneurial and technical genius; when they overtax, criminalize, or ostracize it, they wither."
