tion/capitalization, and the creation of a Jewish capitalist social forma-

class struggle for the reproduction of the State superstructure. These
considerations seem to be articulated in settlement patterns since the

question overlaps with the following discussion regarding type of employer
(capital) and relations to the political/ideological superstructure to be
further discussed later on.
We identify a hierarchical relationship among the various habitat
forms. Hierarchical in terms of "standards of living", as a ranking cri-
terion. Standards of living is regarded here as an indicator of the dif-
ferential cost of reproduction of labor power of the residents of a parti-

worlds of both production and consumption. Standards of living cannot be
measured by income alone, it must also include public services, access or
lack of access to development opportunities, the quality of education,
health (preventive and curative services), environmental quality, recrea-
tional facilities, etc. One can also use per capita municipal budget as a
measurement of standards of living of the different habitat forms.

we are concerned only with the location of proletarian labor force in the
various habitat. Kibbutznic labor, owing to its relation to the means of
production through its share in the communal ownership, is not part of the
