Wednesday, 30th September, 20:30
The second instalment of this lecture series in English, looking at four critical moments in Israeli history. 1977 was a political earthquake in Israel, but also the beginning of an economic revolution that changed the country forever.
The victory of Menachem Begin's Likud not only ended 29 years of one-party dominance in Israel, it marked the country's move away from a socialist economy to a free market and the flourishing of private enterprise.
