Israel today. To be more specific, concentration of capital in Israel
today signifies not only the expropriation of small bourgeoisie by bigger
bourgeoisie, but also the expropriation of petty Jewish capitalists by
Jewish and foreign capitalists. Two processes are taking place simultan-
eously: the transformation of some petty industrial production (workshops)
into capitalist production (factories) and the replacement of many smaller
factories by few larger factories, specifically foreign subsidiaries.
This theoretical introduction focuses our attention on the possible
relation between the concentration and proletarianization processes.
B. Concrete Illustrations
Viewed historically in Israel, petty capital seems to have paved the
road for productive capital. Kibbutz and co-operative capital are now
paving the road for the penetration of foreign capital and, in many cases,
are merging with it. How petty Jewish capital paved the road for factory
production and the emergence of local industrial capital is similar to the
concentration processes of the present phase, but on a narrower scale and
slower pace. This is not to imply that all local industrial capital have
emerged from local petty capital. Another source of local private capital
is the "naturalization" of foreign private capital through Jewish immigra-
tion. Many Jewish immigrants came with small productive capital and estab-
lished small factories.
Historically, the petty commodity form and low-capacity, small-scale
production predominated in the pre-1967 War period. Most factories were
small, semi-primitive enterprises employing from 1 to 49 workers. Accor-
ding to 1963/1964 statistics, these comprised 94.2 percent of all factories
and employed 52.8 percent of the industrial workers. This should not be - تاريخ
