Political Effects of Inflation Subject of Journal Article NEW YORK — Israel's troubled economy and the political effects of triple- digit inflation rate on the Begin government were the subject of a recent Wall Street Journal article by Jonathan Spivak. Spivak said, in part: "As with other issues, most Israelis split on politi- cal lines over just what are the causes of inflation. Labor Party adherents in- sist the ruling Likud Party's large spending increases and budget_ deficits are at fault. But Likud Party economists charge that de- cades of mismanagement by previous Labor govern- ments are to blame — in- cluding subsidies and ex- change rate manipulations which long concealed the actual inflation rate. " The truth is that infla- tion doesn't have much to do with either Labor or Likud policies,' insists one gov- ernment expert. 'It is a structural problem.' Talks with business executives and government officials support this view and reveal how deeply entrenched in- flation is. "Some Israeli officials believe there is a simple solution: a powerful dose of adversity. This would include a freeze on real wage increases, re- ductions in private and public consumption, cuts. in government spending, increased taxes, a bal- anced budget and lower standards of living for everyone. "So far, however, triple- digit inflation has seemed far less painful to most Is- raelis than this corrective. So the search for other solu- tions goes on."
