Abstract
As presented in the chapters above, since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, well-known foreign economists (mostly American Jews) and Israeli economists (who were trained in the USA) played an ostensibly decisive role as advisers in the development of Israeli economic policy. In this regard, Israel is probably the most notable example of a country—aside from the US—in which prominent academic economists have also played a role in economic policy discourse and as advisers.
