Description

This comprehensive study examines the sources of growth and stagnation in the Israeli economy, focusing on the development of the industrial and agricultural sectors, changes in the supply of labour, the nature of capital markets and the expansion of the defence budget. The author analyzes policies that have been successful in lowering inflation and concludes that the over-centralized system must be modified in order to ensure a healthy economy.
