Per Wikipedia Karl Gunnar Myrdal 1898 - 1987 Was A Swedish Economist And Sociologist. In 1974 He Received The Nobel Memorial Prize In Economic Sciences Along With Friedrich Hayek For "Their Pioneering Work In The Theory Of Money And Economic Fluctuations And For Their Penetrating Analysis Of The Interdependence Of Economic Social And Institutional Phenomena."2 When His Wife Alva Myrdal Received The Nobel Peace Prize In 1982 They Became The Fourth Ever Married Couple To Have Won Nobel Prizes And The First And Only To Win Independent Of Each Other Versus A Shared Nobel Prize By Scientist Spouses. He Is Best Known In The United States For His Study Of Race Relations Which Culminated In His Book An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem And Modern Democracy. The Study Was Influential In The 1954 Landmark U.S. Supreme Court Decision Brown V. Board Of Education. In Sweden His Work And Political Influence Were Important To The Establishment Of The Folkhemmet And The Welfare State. The Political Element Is A Compilation Of Myrdal's Lectures Presented At The University Of Stockholm. It Gives Us The Historical Account Of The Influence Of Politics In The Development Of Economic Theory And The Relation Between Them. Gunnar Believed That Economics Would Be Considered A True Science Only When The Political Aspect Was Dissociated. It Was Initially Written To Criticize The Older Generation Of Swedish Economists Such As Eli Heckscher Gustav Cassel And Brisman For Combining And Confusing Facts And Values In Their Theories Of 'Maximum Welfare' 'Price Level' And 'National Income'. But Later It Turned Out Be A General Critique Of The Economic Theory Where He Emphasized That Economics Should Be Objective And Independent From Values. He Wrote That Although Economists Claim To Be Scientific And Objective Their Conclusion From Their Analyses Was Always Politically Inclined. Gunnar Myrdal Strongly Opposed The Vietnam War. In Asian Drama Myrdal Predicted That Land Reform And Pacification Would Fail In Vietnam And Urged The United States To Begin Negotiations With North Vietnam. After Returning To Sweden He Headed The Swedish Vietnam Committee And Became Co-Chair Of International Commission Of Inquiry Into U.S. War Crimes In Indochina. He Also Presided Over The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute An International Watch-Dog For The Arms Trade. He Was One Of The Signers Of The Humanist Manifesto. Myrdal Published Many Notable Works Both Before And After American Dilemma And Among Many Other Contributions To Social And Public Policy Founded And Chaired The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Myrdal Suggested That We Need To Evolve From The Welfare State To The Welfare World Which Would Enable The Redistribution Of Income And Wealth Not Only Within A Country But Also On A Global Scale. During The Cold War Era In Beyond The Welfare State He Proposed The Idea Of The Welfare World To Overcome The Limitations Of The Welfare State In The West. Alva Myrdal Was A Prominent Leader Of The Disarmament Movement. She Along With Alfonso García Robles Received The Nobel Peace Prize In 1982. Harper & Brothers hardcover
