About This Item
(Tel-Aviv: Economic Research Institute of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, 1938). 248 x 172 mm; printed wrappers; pp. 214; graphs and tables in text. Wraps creased and somewhat frayed, with previous owner's name in small hand on upper wrap; moderate foxing throughout. Fair to good condition. "In surveying the economic situation in Palestine, the political background, both at home and abroad, must always be kept in mind. Political events exert a much more decisive influence on Palestine's economic life than is usual in other countries, owing to the special role which immigration and capital import play in Palestine's development. There are two sets of forces which compose this political background - the forces which repel Jewish population and capital away from their countries of origin, and cause them to turn to Palestine for refuge; and the forces which determine Palestine's attraction as a refuge for Jewish population and capital. These forces of repulsion and attraction are often sufficiently powerful to overshadow the effect of internal economic conditions." .
