I recently became aware of a fascinating report, titled "State of the Nation Report – Society, Economy and Policy 2009" (see full pointers, also to the report in English, at the bottom of this posting), published a few months ago by the Taub Center.
It's not uncommon to read and hear discussions in the media, which are practically based on intuitions, assumptions or even prejudice.
This report is based on hard economic data, examining high-level and long-term trends. I think it makes it an unusually important and educating read.
Not many of you are likely to read the full (very long) document.
Hence, I particularly recommend the first chapter ("A Macro Perspective on Israel's Society and Economy"), and the third chapter ("Israel's Education System - An International Perspective and Recommendations for Reform").
Enjoy,
Giora
