Internet & Publications
ICSEP has published many policy papers in Hebrew, covering topics such as Britain’s pioneering privatization experience, deregulation, how privatization can benefit the environment, and proceedings from its various conferences. We have over 20 titles in constant circulation.
??Kivunim?? Website
In 2003 we established a website of ideas, Kivunim, which features translations from Commentary, The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The Hoover Review, National Review, etc., to expose Israeli readers to a wider range of thinkers and ideas than is available in the mostly one-sided Israeli media.
Among its contributors are:
- Francis Fukuyama
- Samuel Huntington
- Alan Dershowitz
- Jean-Francois Revel
- Fouad Ajami
- George Will
- Charles Krauthammer
- Paul Johnson
- David Pryce-Jones
- Martin Wolf
- Hernando de Soto
- Michael Novak
- Irving Kristol
- Robert Bork
- Frederick Forsyth
- judge Abraham Sofaer
- Mortimer Zuckerman
- Roger Kimball
- Sadik Al-Azm (a Syrian intellectual)
- Tarek Heggy (a leading Egyptian intellectual)
Kivunim also publishes original works by Israeli writers. Its audience includes leading public and intellectual figures. In a short period it has gained over 10,000 steady visits a month.
Periodicals
During the earlier stages of our work, we published a Hebrew-language periodical, Lihiyot Hofshi (“To Be Free”), featuring economic comments, analysis and information on the Israeli economy.
ICSEP has also published many policy papers in Hebrew, covering topics such as Britain’s pioneering privatization experience, deregulation, how privatization can benefit the environment, and proceedings from its various conferences. We have over 20 titles in constant circulation.
Books & Translations
ICSEP has translated into Hebrew seminal works such as Milton and Rose Friedman’s Free to Choose and James D. Gwartney and Richard L. Stroup’s What Everyone Should Know about Economics and Prosperity.
We are now writing a book about the recent historic reform in the financial market initiated by Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in cooperation with ICSEP and other public bodies. This reform represents the first time that a reform was launched in Israel through the cooperation of a government minister and various voluntary bodies. As such, it is a lesson worth learning by Israelis who doubt that change can be affected under the present political circumstances.
We have received an offer to have a TV series made, based on this book for Israel’s Academic Channel, and we are working on it.
