Initial ideological commitment and the special circumstances of Israel's founding led to unusual success when combined with well-thought-out rules on behavior and entry. Over time, the commitment to socialistic income sharing has not worked so well, given modern technology and global commerce. The author links up these ideas to the broader issue of organizational structure but misses out on some opportunities to test the ideas further.- Reproduced   aCapitalist world, Organizational structure, Personal income  923712  aJournal of Economic Literature   aWEALTH - ISRAEL   cAR  00102ddc40709389468aIIPAbIIPAd2021-01-25h58(2), Jun, 2020: p.488-497pAR123898r2021-01-25yAR
