Wealth & Poverty Review George Gilder Discusses ‘The Israel Test’ at FreedomFest

Originally published at C-SPAN

Venture capitalist and futurist George Gilder, author of “The Israel Test,” argued that antagonism towards Israel is based in part on resentment over Israel’s economic and technological accomplishments and moral leadership in the world. This interview was conducted at FreedomFest, an annual libertarian conference held in 2024 in Las Vegas.
