Telecosm:
The World After Bandwidth Abundance
By George Gilder
Order
a Copy Now!
The supreme abundance of the telecosm is the
electromagnetic spectrum, embracing all the universe of vibrating
electrical and magnetic fields, from power line pulses through light
beams to cosmic rays. The scarcity that unlocks this abundance is
the supreme scarcity in physical science: the absolute minimum time
it takes to form an electromagnetic wave of a particular length.
Set by the permeability of free space, this minimal span determines
the speed of light.

Life
After Television
Buy
Now From Amazon.com!
Television has long been identified as a dead hand on culture; but
as George Gilder so brilliantly reveals here, this centralized,
authoritarian institution is also a dying technology whose grip
on our imaginative and economic life threatens to impede America's
competitiveness in the next century. Gilder's optimistic message
is that the U.S. has only to unleash its industrial resources to
command the "telefuture," in which new technology will
overthrow the stultifying influence of mass media, renew the power
of individuals, and promote democracy throughout the world.
First published in 1990 by Whittle Books. Currently
published by W.W. Norton & Co.

Recapturing
the Spirit of Enterprise
Buy
Now From Amazon.com!
Entrepreneurship, to George Gilder, is more than an economic activity.
It is a way of life. The same spirit of enterprisethe impulse
to freedom and self-governancethat animates people to originate
bold new products and services, to devote the fruits of their talents,
energies, and acumen to improving the material well-being of their
fellows, also guides their engagement in the other workings of society.
Among the images that fill this book, perhaps none is more inspiring
than the group portrait of the Cuban immigrants in Miami, eho in
barely thirty years have created one of America's showplaces ó
an economically innovative, civically vibrant community in their
new homeland. It is in the hope of stimulating citizens across America
to awaken their own spirit of enterprise that we proudly publish
this book.

First published by Simon & Schuster in 1984.
Revised edition published in 1992 by ICS Press as Recapturing
The Spirit of Enterprise.

Men
and Marriage
Buy
Now From Amazon.com!
A chilling indictment
on the state of the American family, and the recent drive to deny
the fundamental differences between the sexes, Men and Marriage
is "an outstandingly important and well-argued book, strangely
moving in its combination of scholarly dilligence, common sense,
courage, and devotion to the res publica of human civilization."--National

of George Gilder
Edited by Frank Gregorsky
Buy

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.
