Chapter 13 expands on the idea of incongruence between political community and labor force by presenting a historical overview of the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians in the field of labor and worker representation. Beginning with Mandatory Palestine, through the establishment of Israel in 1948, the territorial conquest of 1967, the Oslo Accords, and the ongoing occupation, the chapter underscores the Histadrut’s “nationalist” role and charts the incremental incorporation of Palestinian citizens and non-citizens as laborers, but with limited access to political institutions, including the Histadrut and Labor Party. It closes by overviewing Israel’s textile industry as epitomizing the development of the economy according to the requirements of the Jewish state and its relations with the Palestinians. This constitutes the basis for the assertion, explored in the subsequent chapter, that since 1948 Israel has increasingly struggled with the conflicting imperatives of economic incorporation and political exclusion of Palestinians.

The article is devoted to the history of reception and interpretation of the ideas of Marx and Engels. The author considers the reasons for divergence between Marxist and neoclassical economic theories. He also analyzes the ways of vulgarization of Marx’s theory and the making of Marxist voluntarism. It is shown that the works of Marx and Engels had a certain potential for their over-simplified interpretations. The article also considers academic ("Western") Marxism and evaluates the prospects of Marxist theory in the future.

This paper proposes a new conceptual framework in understanding the dynamics within the Kurdish and Turkish (KT) owned firms in London by utilising Charles Tilly’s work concerning collective resource mobilisation. Drawing on 60 in-depth interviews with restaurant, off-licence, kebab-shop, coffee-shop, supermarket, wholesaler owners and various community organisations, the paper sheds light upon the questions of why and how the KT communities in London moved into, and are over represented and why Turkish Cypriots are absent in small business ownership. The re-search illustrates that members of the KT communities aligned in their interests to become small business owners after the demise of textile industry in the midst of 1990s in London. The interest alignment in small business ownership required activation of various forms of capital and transposition of social, cultural and economic capital into one another.
