Today, Israel has a population of nine million and is one of the richest countries in the world. The Israeli Economy tells the story of this remarkable transformation, shedding critical new light on Israel's rapid economic growth.Joseph Zeira takes readers from those early days to today, describing how Israel's economic development occurred amid intense fighting with the Palestinians and neighboring Arab countries. He reveals how the new state's astonishing growth continued into the early 1970s, and traces this growth to public investment in education and to large foreign transfers. Zeira analyzes the costs of the Arab-Israeli conflict, demonstrating how economic output could be vastly greater with a comprehensive peace. He discusses how Israel went through intensive neoliberal economic policies in recent decades, and shows how these policies not only failed to enhance economic performance, but led to significant social inequality.Based on more than two decades of groundbreaking research, The Israeli Economy is an in-depth survey of a modern economy that has experienced rapid growth, wars, immigration waves, and other significant shocks. It thus offers important lessons for nations around the world. 410 0$aPrinceton economic history of the Western world. 606 $aEconomic history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00901974 606 $aNeoliberalism$zIsrael$2nli 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xEconomic aspects$2nli 607 $aIsrael$xEconomic conditions 615 7$aEconomic history. 615 7$aNeoliberalism 615 7$aArab-Israeli conflict$xEconomic aspects 676 $a330.95694 700 $aZeira$b Joseph$01218497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910554206403321 996 $aThe Israeli economy$92817861 997 $aUNINA
