{"product_id":"9781468313222","title":"Habit of Labor: Lessons from a Life of Struggle and Success","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"There's no better way to explain the miracle of Israel than to examine the amazing life of Stef Wertheimer.\" —Warren Buffet\u003c\/p\u003e Forced to flee Nazi Germany with his family at age 10, Stef Wertheimer came to British Palestine in the late 1930s. He promptly dropped out of school, learned a trade through apprenticeship, and played a meaningful role in Israel’s War of Independence.  He also started a company—ISCAR—that began in a shed and ultimately made him one of the world’s great self-made industrialists. In The Habit of Labor, Wertheimer shares the lessons he learned from a life of strife and struggle in one of the world’s newest industrial powers. Both a pragmatist and a visionary, Wertheimer has devoted much of his life to promoting Jewish and Arab economic development through innovative educational and vocational programs, along with the establishment of a series of thriving industrial parks in Israel and in Turkey. The future of Israel, he believes, is not in military might or diplomatic alliances but in its growing economic clout.","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135523897584,"sku":"9781468313222","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468313222_p0.jpg?v=1769892622","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468313222","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
