Start-up Nation — Israel's Economic Miracle
from NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life · host Naomi Brockwell
Israel is known as "startup nation". That's because "Israel has the highest concentration of startups per capita in the entire world," says David Blumberg of Blumberg Capital. I went to Israel to find out why, and interviewed Blumberg for Stossel TV.Blumberg tell me, Israel took "advice of economists from the University of Chicago, MIT, following in the Milton Friedman school of thought ... [they] basically said 'Israel you have to free the entrepreneurs'." So Israel got "rid of taxes and tariffs and stupid red tape," according to Blumberg. The result was creation of remarkable wealth and opportunity for people in that tiny country.If you liked this, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel!YouTube.com/NaomiBrockwellTVIf you would like to support my podcast on Patreon, please visit:Patreon.com/NaomiBrockwellFor any links mentioned in this podcast, please visit NaomiBrockwell.tvSupport the show
