Israel’s unconventional economic policy, 1948-77
Since its establishment in 1948, Israel’s economic policy has been original and unique, since it was loath to accept imported foreign economic ideas, and at times even explicitly rejected them. When such ideas were partly accepted, they were adjusted to local circumstances – economic, social or political – as understood by the political leadership. This unconventional economic policy was successful – not only by conventional economic standards bu…
Since the mid-1980s
During the first two decades of statehood, Israeli labor policy advocated for full employment by creating new workplaces or work relief in order to absorb the mass waves of immigration. The dominant ideology was that of work ethos – work was perceived as a human and social value; therefore, Israelis believed that money should be paid for work and not for unemployment. In the beginning of the 1960s, the government related to labor as an economic i…

The Israeli tax reforms in the 1970s as socially oriented reforms
The income tax reform in Israel that was introduced in August 1975 bridged two ostensible objectives: the enlargement of levying and the provision of a redistributive mechanism. In other words, it aimed to establish a system that would simultaneously achieve economic efficiency and social justice. The reform was unique since it invented an original Credit Points mechanism that linked together efficiency and distributive justice.Introducing the Va…
