For the Israeli public

ICSEP has translated seminal works into Hebrew, 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.

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.

Other programs

policy-makers

  • Research Projects

    ICSEP regularly initiates research projects on major issues of the day.

    Some research has also been done in cooperation with other bodies, such as the International Center of Economic Growth (on Political Business Cycles, published in Public Choice, 1992), and the Koret Foundation (on Small Businesses in Israel).

  • Reform Plans

    ICSEP regularly undertakes original studies in order to prepare detailed reform plans for Israel’s policy-makers.

    In the mid-1980s ICSEP laid the groundwork for the anti-inflationary policies that proved so successful and for the privatized immigrant absorption policies that enabled the successful integration of the vast majority of immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

students

  • High School Courses

    Since 1998, ICSEP has run economics classes at several Israeli high schools in which over 2,000 students have participated.

    The courses teach the students basic economic concepts and theories, as well as how economics affects their daily lives and career prospects.

    The students also go on at least one field trip to an Israeli enterprise.

  • University Seminars

    The only Israeli university students who study market economics are those majoring or minoring in Economics, and even they mostly study economic techniques, not philosophy.

    Since 2000, ICSEP has offered a seminar at Tel Aviv, the Hebrew, and Ben-Gurion universities entitled “The Free Market and its Critics” based on Milton and Rose Friedman’s Free to Choose book and films.

Buying and Selling – Learning Kit

This learning kit includes videocassettes with 6 short films, a booklet for the student, and a teacher’s guide. The kit helps teach high-school students basic terms in economics such as supply and demand, competition, decision making and human resources.

ICSEP provides the kits to high school students in a very successful ongoing program serving dozens of schools, especially in outlaying areas, where specialized economic courses are hard to find.

What Everyone Should Know About Economics and Prosperity

This translation of the James Madison Institute’s book helps those who don’t understand the sources of economic prosperity to better understand what types of economic arrangements work and why some nations prosper while others stagnate or even regress.

“If you are looking for a lean and clean book on economics—a basic primer for keeping clear the main ideas—this may be the best you’ll find. It sticks to the basics, and explains them with common sense and in plain English. It will leave you wishing that everyone really did know at least these basics.”

Free to Choose

As we head into the next millennium, it becomes increasingly clear the progress we’ve enjoyed is mainly attributable to the freedom of the marketplace. The Friedmans provide a clear defense of the marketplace. It’s an elegant, well-reasoned argument that freedom works better for everyone than do economic systems that call for sweeping government controls. Again and again, the Friedmans demonstrate that market processes not only provide more wealth, but also more security than government control. This book will put an end to the confusion about what is right for the country, economy, and most importantly, what is best for you as a free-thinking, independent individual.

New high school history textbook

With the help of a leftist Minister of Education, recent Israeli history textbooks call into question the basic ethos of Zionism and the Jewish roots and fealty of Israeli students. ICSEP has therefore initiated the writing of a new history textbook for high school students.
