Nobel Prize-winner Gunnar Myrdal is best known for his book An American Dilema, a classic study of America’s racial problems that was chosen as one of The Modern Library’s top 100 nonfiction books of the 20th century. This book covers the full range of Myrdals’ writings, much of which has never been published in book form. It includes his early essays on economics, his thoughts on the population explosion, his discussions of the question of value in the social sciences, and excerpts from Asian Drama, his monumental study of the development of Asia. An introduction by Sissela Bok, who is Myrdal’s daughter and also acclaimed author of Lying and Secrets.
