Opis

In this timely political analysis of the Israeli economy, Shalev focuses on the Histadrut, Israel's national trade union center, to unravel the relationship between organized labor and the state and to illustrate its impact on the management of economic performance. Throughout, Shalev relates the implications of Israel's specific case to larger issues in political economy.
