The Essential Myrdal (Hardcover)

Nobel Prize -- winner Gunnar Myrdal was one of the century's leading social scientists, best known in American for the classic An American Dilemma, his study of America's racial problems. That book was chosen as one of the Modern Library's top one hundred nonfiction books of the century, and has probably influenced American thought as much as any since de Tocqueville's Democracy in America.

The Essential Myrdal covers the full range of Myrdal's other writing, much of which has never been published in book form. It includes his early essays on economics, his thoughts on the population question, his discussions of value in the social sciences, and excerpts from Asian Drama, his monumental study of the development of Asia.
