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.

 Microcosm
SOLD OUT
Taking the reader inside the tiniest computer chips as well as the
greatest minds of Silicon Valley, George Gilder explores the unrecognized
technological and entrepreneurial revolution we are now experiencing,
one which is creating unprecedented opportunities for business and
technology. Microcosm contains vivid accounts of the latest inventions
and revealing portraits of the leading scientists, engineers, and
entrepreneurs at the frontiers of knowledge.
Published by Simon & Schuster in 1989.

 Wealth
and Poverty
Wealth and Poverty is a phenomenon— a bestseller that is also
one of the most important books of its kind for decades. In his bold
and brilliant work George Gilder —already widely known for the
originality of his mind and the verve of his prose ó provides
a fresh and illuminating study of what is perhaps the most critical
problem of contemporary society: how to increase wealth and curtail
poverty.
First published by Basic Books in 1981.

 Life
After Television
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

 Recapturing
the Spirit of Enterprise
Entrepreneurship, to George Gilder, is more than an economic activity.
It is a way of life. The same spirit of enterprise—the impulse
to freedom and self-governance—that 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.

 Visible
Man
A forthright, unvarnished portrait of life and struggle for young
African-American men in the inner city. Decrying the lack of vision
in welfare reform, George Gilder asserts that whatever the problems
of young African-American men today, invisibity is no longer among
them.
