Review
Finally, a Gilder book for those of us who want to get right to the point!
From tapes, transcripts, and corporate conclaves, you get the SPOKEN wit and wisdom of George Gilder - on money and morals, technology and telecom. It's all here, and it's easy to use.
A little over a third of Speaking of George Gilder consists of speeches and a previously unreleased 12,000-word interview. The rest is quotes - mainly short ones - organized "topically."
And this is NOT a rework of George's books and magazine articles. Even George's most loyal readers will not have seen most of what's in this book.
That's because the contents of Speaking consist overwhelmingly of his SPOKEN words - from magazine interviews, radio and TV appearances, and remarks to corporate and academic groups.
Speaking is comprehensive yet concise, deep while still digestible. It is the ONLY way you can sample ALL of George Gilder's ideas and recommendations - simply and easily. -- From the Publisher

Gilder for Dummies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Speaking of George Gilder (Paperback)
George Gilder's newsletter is often over my head, but Speaking of George Gilder is right on my level. And its more than just tech and stock analysis, it really shows where Gilder is coming from. Everything from his views on social welfare and supply side economics to where he thinks cable TV is headed -- both technically and culturally -- and why. Great book!

This review is from: Speaking of George Gilder (Paperback)
George Gilder is well known today for his examination of emerging technologies. His is an interesting journey from writing about values, men and women, government policy, etc. to sharing his understanding of emerging technologies. This book is not a straight line from Mr. Gilder's early career to the present, but it serves as a great introduction to a tireless mind. In the end, you will understand how a man with a diverse background ends up writing about creating wealth through giving.

Awesome. Earth shaking.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Speaking of George Gilder (Paperback)
I have read Gilder's news letters, The Death of Television, and one or two other titles. I enjoyed this book even more as Gilder's prodigious intelligence is more intelligible in spoken form. Its great to find a truly great thinker who appreciates the dynamism of markets and creativity, and who understands the profound impacts of quantum theory on the human condition, and finally who can be persuasive that no apologies are necessary for capitalism. He's a great breath of fresh air and the inclusion of his ideas in the Papal reports that come each century are demonstrative of their transcendent importance. I think Gilder will go down in history as one of the great minds of our time.
