George Gilder
Venture capitalist and author of Wealth & Poverty, George Gilder makes the moral case for Israel as a bastion of capitalism and freedom in his new book The Israel Test. Gilder contends that if we allow Israel to be quelled or destroyed, we succumb to forces targeting capitalism and freedom everywhere. The Israel test is ultimately a test of America’s will to triumph over enemies who hate the US, as they hate Israel, for the values that have made them great. The Israel test for each of us is whether we resent the excellence in achievement demonstrated by Jews over the centuries and Israel today or admire and aspire to their contributions to humanity and world economy.
