Overview

This book documents how Israel emerged as one of the world's leading centers of high technology over the last three decades and the impact that it has had, or failed to have, on the wider economy and politics.

Focus and Analysis

Based on the study of start-up companies, the project attributes the rise of Israel's tech economy to its unique history, political system, and culture, and shows how those same factors have failed it in the quest to diversify its economy to make it more inclusive and equitable.

Intended Audience

This work will interest economists, political scientists, Israeli studies academics, investors, policy makers, journalists, and business readers.
