START-UP NATION addresses the trillion dollar question: How did Israel a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies produce more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the insights of geopolitical experts and investors, Senor and Singer examine this nation's adversity-driven culture to answer this question and offer prescriptions for a global economy on the rebound.
