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