In the first 4 years after its establishment the country doubled its population and seemed to be on the verge of wrecking the economy. Temporarily. Israel seemed unable to cope with such a large wave of immigration. and the countryside was dotted with many immigrant camps. Today a visitor to the country finds it hard to believe that such difficulties ever existed. The immigrant camps. the masses of unemployed. and the general shortages are gone. Today Israel is alive with economic activity. bright new towns. and abundant consumer goods. Not all of the economic problems have been solved. but Israels record is one of astounding achievement which provides a foundation for attacking her remaining problems.
