BOOK REVIEW

摘要

Innovative start-ups have been responsible for almost all trie net job creation in the U.S. for the last two decades [1]. This book examines the impact of such engines of economic growth in Israel.rnAccording to the World Bank Israel had a per capita GDP of $27,548 in 2008; the figures for its neighbors Egypt and Jordan were $5416 and $5283, respectively. The same year Israel had per capita venture capital investments 2.5 times greater than the U.S. and 30 times greater than Europe. In fact, this small, embattled country leads the world in the percent of its economy spent on R&D and has the highest density of start-ups in the world. Why? That is the question the two authors of this book try to answer.
