Abstract

Profiles Gunnar Myrdal, who was born in Sweden, but after his graduation from Stockholm University’s Law School, studied in Germany and England, before moving to the USA, where he was commissioned to make an in‐depth study of the ‘sAmerican Negro problem’s (1944). Equality was a recurring theme in his work, and as all great scientists, he told the truth, as he believed he saw it.
