Start-Up Nation: a must-read for all

I just finished reading Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in business/entrepreneurship OR Israel. It’s about the small country’s entrepreneurial culture, but it’s not just an analysis of Israel’s most successful start-ups, which is what I was expecting. The authors, Dan Senor and Saul Singer, also talk a lot about the IDF, which instills in its soldiers the drive to find innovative solutions to problems and the audacity to challenge their superiors. Israel’s companies, such as its branch of Intel, have sustained themselves through countless wars and threats from surrounding nations. This is an insightful book that’s also a quick, easy read. You should read it, and let me know what you think!
