The economies of Turkey and Egypt, remarkably similar until the early 1980s, have since taken divergent paths.

The conclusion the author draws is that the external contexts for both were so alike that this cannot account for their diverging paths. Instead, the author...

The economic history of Israel is often portrayed as a story of transformation from interventionism/socialism to liberalization and market economy. This narrative is promoted both by liberal economists who praise the market-oriented reforms as well as by social-democrat activists who condemn it as the triumph of capital over labor. This book debunks the from-socialism-to-liberalization narrative. Instead, it argues that the economic history of Israel--its continuity as well as its change--can be explained on the basis of one key causal factor: the state preferences as were shaped by, on...
