However, Israel's case offers some general lessons that ought to be considered by advocates of a strong bureaucratic state, as suggested by the New Public Administration of the 1968 Minnowbrook Conference. These include: poor management of public enterprises and social services; high inflation; politicization of public sector employment; a plethora of centrally defined rules, many of which are evaded in the interests of flexible administration; lack of moderation in policy demands; and perpetuation of the state's dominance of the economy as it becomes the first resort of groups in distress. - Reproduced Public administration - Israel Public administration International Journal of Public Administration 34271 34271 34271 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 20, Issue no: 4-5 AR34501 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
