This is a fascinating insight into some of the mostnbsp;importantnbsp;thinking of the industrial revolution in Israel.
Technological revolution, rapid industrialization and higher levels of productivitynbsp;all drew more and more people from the agricultural workforcenbsp;and new ideasnbsp;were needed to combat this serious loss of labour.
At the time this book was first published, Professor Halperim's had somthing new and original to offer. He argued that agriculture could be combined with industry without undermining that age-old social asset, the village community, and bring it into line with changing conditions.
As he predicted the development of areas comprising a score or more of villages, ranging around non-agriculturenbsp;has been preserved, and rural societynbsp;has continued to exist although itnbsp;has assumed different forms. The name proposed by the author for this new formation is Agrindus, as it expresses the integration of AGRiculture and INDUStries.
