DOI: 10.1177/092137409500700315 Judaism, the Jewish State and Economic FreedomCentre for Business Ethics, Israel Taking macroeconomic policy, the role of government and social issues as a point of departure, it is claimed that the establishment of the independent state of Israel makes a Jewish perspective a viable alternative to secular non-Jewish systems. However, studies regarding Jewish perspectives on political economy are very tendentious because of a selective reading of halakhic sources and a biased interpretation of the homiletical literature. By contrast, this paper is an attempt to bring a balanced picture of a viable Jewish perspective on the issue of the state and economic freedom.
