The Mystery of the Kibbutz: How Socialism Succeeded (Under Contract with Princeton University Press) Ran Abramitzky Stanford University What Is My Book About
The mystery of the kibbutz: how socialism succeeded (under contract with Princeton University Press) Ran Abramitzky Stanford University What is my book about Kibbutzim, egalitarian and socialist communities in Israel, thrived for almost a century within a more capitalist society This is despite the gloomy predictions that such communities are likely to fail because of severe incentive problems: members are expected to shirk on each other, the brightest members are expected to exit, and only the least productive workers are expected to enter How did such socialist islands survive successfully within a more capitalist society? Specifically: Were there incentive problems in kibbutzim? How did kibbutzim thrive and provide equal sharing despite incentive problems? Why did some kibbutzim eventually shift away from equal sharing while others didn’t? Did the shift away from equal sharing help kibbutzim to survive? What are the lessons from kibbutzim for other organizations and societies aiming at high degrees of redistribution? What is my book about Part I: The economic history of the kibbutz Part II: Do kibbutz members respond to economic incentives? Part III: How did kibbutzim thrive despite incentive problems? Part IV: Why did some kibbutzim shift away from equal sharing and others not? An empirical test of the limits of equality Part V: Did the shift away from equal sharing reduce incentive problems? Part VI: Implications beyond kibbutzim This book is in part based on my following papers: 1. “Lessons from the Kibbutz on the Equality-Incentives Trade-Off,” Journal of Economic Perspectives, 25:1, 185-208, Winter 2011 2. “On the (lack of) Stability of Communes: An Economic Perspective,” in Oxford Handbook of the Economics of Religion (edited by Rachel McCleary), Oxford University Press, Chapter 9, 169-189, 2011 3. -

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors. -

The Struggle to Belong Dealing with Diversity in 21 Century Urban
The struggle to belong Dealing with diversity in 21st century urban settings Amsterdam, 7-9 July 2011 ‗People like us’: gatekeepers and the rise of community expansions in the neo-liberal kibbutz Igal Charney and Michal Palgi University of Haifa, Mount Carmel, Haifa, 31905 Israel E-mail: [email protected] Paper presented at the International RC21 conference 2011 Session: ‗Gated communities‘ from a global perspective 1 ‘People like us’: gatekeepers and the rise of community expansions in the neo-liberal kibbutz Abstract In contrast to gated communities built for middle-upper classes, the kibbutz, as an ideological gated community throughout most of the last century, has been open to those who wished to commit themselves to a cooperative and egalitarian society. Two significant changes had a critical role in transforming the kibbutz: the movement from ideology-driven to market-oriented communities and the subsequent admission of newcomers as nonmembers. By exploring nine kibbutzim in the Israeli northern periphery, a region which experienced extensive development of such neighborhoods, this article stresses the role of gatekeepers, principally the kibbutzim. In particular, we examine how they view the expansion of their communities and how they screen nonmembers who wish to reside in new neighborhoods built at the perimeter of the kibbutz (in local terminology, ‗community expansions‘). Despite central-state regulation, kibbutzim have attempted to exercise tight regulation on their behalf seeking to recruit people of specific socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds whom they thought would fit best into their social economic environment rejecting those who significantly diverge from this profile. To minimize foreseeable social and economic frictions and to maintain some recognized socio-cultural values, recruiting ‗people like us‘ or people considered needed for the community was a key objective. -

Effects of Drastic Changes in Living Environment: a Displaced Community
Miriam Billig A Displaced Community 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 Effects of Drastic Changes in Living Environment: A Displaced Community Miriam Billig, Ariel University, Israel Abstract The objectives of this study were to understand the implications of the forced transfer of a community to a different physical environment, and assess the effects of such an environmental change on the community's sociological structure and on restructuring people’s cultural identity. We used Ingelhart’s methodology of cultural shifts to describe these cultural changes. In the K.D. community, changes in the physical environment caused significant changes in the community's social structure. As a result, the collective characteristics that had once united and strengthened the community's social structure began to dwindle. Meanwhile, a growing tendency towards individualistic characteristics gradually increased, causing the weakening and eventual dissolution of both the community and its social structure. Introduction Community displacement and resettlement effects on population well-being have been subjects of extensive academic research in recent decades. A vast body of evidence has been collected about the difficulties encountered by resettled populations as they try to adapt to their host environments (Oliver & Smith, 2013; Fong & Green, 2011; Bhugra & Becker, 2005). In their review of recent migrants’ adaptation in an Australian community, Hutchinson & Dorsett (2012) identify several elements that may impede this process, including: language barriers, discrimination, and labeling of the trauma story. Bhugra & Becker (2005) further emphasize the loss of cultural norms, religious customs, and social support systems, adjustment to a new culture, and changes in identity and concept of self. The authentic identities brought by migrants to their new environment are perceived by them as a source of pride, self-respect, a sense of community, and moral strength.
