advantage in high technology production, which is the optimal development
strategy for Israel in terms of rates of profit. Israel does not pay for
the training of the largest portion of its technical labor force; and train-
ing for technical skill is the most costly input in high technology produc-
tion. Israeli-made high technology products thereby gain a competitive
position in the international market because they can be sold for prices
lower than those of qualitatively equivalent high technology products made
elsewhere in central capitalism, yet with the same rates of return.-> This
is made possible precisely because most of the training cost is not included
in the cost of production of such Israeli-made commodities. This is to say
that Israeli capitalists, and for that matter international subsidiaries in
Israel, can realize their profits by selling their products at lower prices;
and it is in this sense that high-skill labor force immigration into Israel
directly provides Israel with comparative advantage in high technology pro-
duction, and indirectly, with competitive position in the sphere of realiza-
tion.
This advantage, however, may generate an opposite reaction. Capital-
ist development is nothing but a series of successive contradictions. The
competitive position of Israeli-made high technology commodities on the
international market may generate repercussions for the detriment of Israel.
European-American countries may start to impose quotas on immigration of
their scientific Jewish citizens into Israel if they become convinced that
this is a factor in promoting the competitiveness of Israeli products at the
expense of their own competitive position in the sphere of realization. /"
