Adopting a systematic, yet non-technical, approach, Jacob Metzer's book is the first to analyze the divided economy of Mandatory Palestine from the viewpoints of modern economic history and development economics. While the existing literature has typically focused on the Jewish economy, this book explores the economic activity of both Arabs and Jews in the complex political arena of the period. Drawing on recently constructed national income accounts for Arabs, Jews, and the country as a whole, the book offers new quantitative evidence and interpretations concerning key topics such as Palestine's land, capital, and labor markets, the demographic and socio-economic traits of Arabs and Jews, their economic performance and bilateral relations, and the political economy of the country's public sectors. These topics are examined comparatively within the context of the ''dual economy" postulate, while distinguishing developmental disparities of a general "dualistic" nature from specific ethno-national political factors. A concluding chapter reviews the complex and uneasy record of Arab-Jewish economic co-existence over the last three-quarters of a century in the area of Mandatory Palestine, composed of present-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The book promises to make a significant contribution to the economic history of the modern Middle East and to the understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The concentration of new data will provide a valuable resource for future research.
Jacob Metzer is Alexander Brody Professor of Economic History in the Department of Economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Through most of his career he has worked on the economic history and development of Mandatory Palestine and Israel. Besides publishing widely in scholarly journals he has written (in Hebrew) two books in the field: NationalCapitalforaNationalHome (1979) and TheJewishandtheArabEconomyinMandatoryPalestine: Product, EmploymentandGrowth (with Oded Kaplan, 1990).
