The Kibbutz: An Applied Socio‐economic Experiment
View through CrossRef
The Kibbutz in Israel is a collective settlement in which all means of production and consumption are communally owned. Nevertheless, it should be underscored that there remains much individuality both within the individual Kibbutz and between the settlements. In fact, each collective settlement tends to take on a particular character according to the nature of the members that make up that settlement. The life of the Kibbutz materialises from below (that is, arises from the membership) rather than by resolution or edict from above. In this respect, the Kibbutz is a socio‐economic experiment that takes place in life‐reality, or the everyday experience of living.
