Plessner examines events of the past two decades and advances the hypothesis that problems within the Israeli economy can be explained by the extent of its departure from the institutions and rules that govern predominantly market economies. He argues that Israel is unusual in that it affords an opportunity to analyze a socialized economy embedded in a democratic society. Individual chapters describe Israel's economic growth and stagnation, the government's domination of capital and credit markets, and the absence of a truly independent private sector. The concluding chapter evaluates the stabilization program of the 1980s and its aftermath and provides a prognosis for the future. Told within the framework of the story of Zionism and the creation of the Jewish state, this book answers the question of why the Israeli economy finds itself today in the same state in which it has languished since 1973. Yakir Plessner is Senior Lecturer in Economics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Fellow at The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. He was formerly Deputy Governor of the Bank of Israel and economic advisor to the Minister of Finance.SUNY series in Israeli studies.IsraelHistoryIsraelEconomic conditions338.95694Plessner Yakir1935-1865781MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958150003321The political economy of Israel4472966UNINA
