Résumé
"This beautifully written book brings economics alive through the lens of a unique social experiment in communal living, teaching us how economic incentives and social contracts shape our society today. Highly recommended both for those well versed in economics and those looking for a lively introduction to the field." Raj Chetty, Stanford University. "The Mystery of the Kibbutz is a brilliant economic analysis of how individuals' equality in income and consumption in a collective-production society could survive but eventually collapse.
Ran Abramitzky provides a touching and enlightening description using unique data on almost the entire population of the kibbutzim from 1910 to 2000." Zvi Eckstein, IDC Herzliya, Israel, coauthor of. The Chosen Few : How Education Shaped Jewish History, 70-1492. "Ran Abramitzky has written a fascinating, important book infused with both deep personal insight and incisive economic analysis. I predict it will be a lasting contribution to the literature on the kibbutz movement." Al Roth, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.
"Can egalitarian and voluntary communities thrive within a capitalist society ? Bringing together social sciences and modern economic tools, this book provides a fascinating and rich analysis of the Israeli kibbutz experience." Emmanuel Saez, University of California, Berkeley.
