Tel Aviv residents like most Israelis do not understand that their problem does not lie with "capitalism." Their problem lies with oligarchy.
Perhaps eleven families control all commerce, imp/exp trade and media in Israel. Open markets, rather than being the "enemy," are precisely what Israel needs most.
It is not uncommon to meet an Israeli with an advanced degree of one kind or another spout off about how the "government" should control (for instance) the price of cottage cheese. Collusion got them here and in Plato's Cave they believe that more of the same will get them out.
Classic syndrome, in this case applied to an otherise brilliant population.

Sometimes brilliant people are the stupidest people around.
