The economic elite that gathers at the Israel Democracy Institute’s annual Caesarea Economic Conference conference is not an evil cabal. But it has been indoctrinated by the Marxists dominating our universities that profit comes from exploitation and that success in economics is a zero sum game.

One of Israel’s great tragedies — social and personal — is its high rate of persistent unemployment, which recently reached over 10% and may continue growing.

Like most of our socioeconomic problems, it is mostly self-inflicted. Therefore, with a rational approach and some political will, it could be solved, albeit with some effort.
