George Gilder - The Israel Test

Gilder's 2009 book The Israel Test is partly described as follows:

Gilder reveals Israel as a leader of human civilization, technological progress, and scientific advance. Tiny Israel stands behind only the United States in its contributions to the hi-tech economy. Israel has become the world's paramount example of the blessings of freedom.

Founder of neoconservatism Irving Kristol says about the book: "Everyone talks about 'free enterprise' but no one understands the entrepreneurial basis of economic growth better than George Gilder." While conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh says: "My friends, it would behoove you to study everything you can get your hands on by George Gilder, a true American genius."

In an interview for National Review, Gilder says the book is about "the cosmic law between success and envy". He further states Israel's role as the following:

Western civilization, in part, originated in Israel. Now Israel is a crucial source of invention, military intelligence, and entrepreneurial creativity that may yet save the West. I believe Netanyahu is a Churchillian figure emerging at the perfect time to confront the Jihad.

—George Gilder, National Review interview July 2009: "Choosing the Chosen People - Anti-Semitism is essentially hatred of capitalism and excellence."
