Abstract
Surely, nothing in Israel has changed more dramatically than the economy and the assumptions underlying the states economical policies. Fifty years ago Israel was a poor new state hopelessly indebted to the outside world. Thirty-five years ago it could be described as a rapidly growing developing country undergoing successful industrialization. Fifteen years ago it was an extreme case of an economically over-burdened state incapable of stemming stagnation and spiraling inflation. But as the century comes to a close, the guardians of the “Washington consensus” hold Israel up as a model of economic liberalization and successful adaptation to globalization and technological change.1
