N2 - It is conventional wisdom in Israel, apparent in the writings of academics and publicists, and widely expressed by politicians, that the country suffers from an abnormally wide social gap, or differential between the incomes of rich and poor. The validity of the claim does not stand up to serious inquiry. Unfortunately, the State Comptroller shares in propagating the "wisdom," rather than addressing it from a critical perspective suitable to the audit function.
