From https://www.marketsandmorality.com/index.php/mandm/article/view/1453
“The Mystery of the Kibbutz explores the history of the kibbutz movement and its vision of economic equality, how it thrived despite inherent economic contradictions, and why it eventually declined. He focuses on three challenges in particular: first, the free rider problem, that there is no benefit for working harder when you get the same salary or personal economic benefits; second, adverse selection – that such a social system would tend to attract people who would not be as successful in a capitalist market; or the inverse, a brain drain, that the smartest people or those who could find success outside the kibbutz would tend to leave. Finally, the question of human capital investment: that there would be a tendency to underinvest in human capital, in other words that there would be a lack of incentive for young people to study or work hard because in the end as kibbutz members they can depend on equal income no matter what their contribution is.”
