Soon after he took office, he decided to give the economy a boost with the monetarist methods espoused by Conservative Economist Milton Friedman. Begin gave Israelis, for the first time, the right to hold up to $3,000 in foreign currency. In his first budget, he increased spending in the already swollen public sector and, most damaging...
