It is no accident that the Victorian age, the heyday of conventionalism, was the cultural bloom of economic liberalism.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

The study of women's intellig...

The study of women's intelligence and personality has had broadly the same history as the one we record for Negroes ... in drawing a parallel between the position of, and feeling toward, women and Negroes, we are uncovering a fundamental basis of our culture.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

The big majority of Americans...

The big majority of Americans, who are comparatively well-off, have developed an ability to have enclaves of people living in the greatest misery almost without noticing them.

It Is in the Agricultural Sector That the Battle for Long- Term Economic Development Will Be Won or Lost.

Social taboos are shy like virtue; once lost, there is no remedy

There is apparently nowhere a workable majority in the representative assemblies for making the specific cuts in expenditure which could bring down the taxes, and in election after election the people vote into power representatives who are as unable as they are unwilling to do anything about it.

Education has in America's whole history been the major hope for improving the individual and society.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

Generally speaking, the less ...

Generally speaking, the less privileged groups in democratic society, as they become aware of their interests and their political power, will be found to press for ever more state intervention in practically all fields.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

Planned parenthood" in the so...

Planned parenthood" in the social history of the Western countries is, indeed, a phenomenon instrin-sically related to those very changes in peoples attitudes which, on the political plane, have been causing the trend towards economic planning.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

People become less inhibited ...

People become less inhibited from wanting to change social and economic conditions in a radical fashion according to their own interests, and from being prepared to think of state intervention in ever wider spheres as possible and useful for this purpose.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

In most circles, the idea of ...

In most circles, the idea of economic planning has been in disrepute most of the time and, particularly in America, has almost carried connotations of intellectual and moral perversion and even political subversion.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

All sudden and violent change...

All sudden and violent changes, whatever their causes or character, must tend to decrease the respect for status quo as a natural order of things.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

It is natural for the ordinary American when he sees something wrong to feel not only that there should be a law against it but, also that an organization should be formed to combat it.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

I am often considered almost ...

I am often considered almost not a part of the profession of Establishment economists. I am even referred to as a sociologist. And by that, economists usually do not mean anything flattering.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

Toward the middle and end of ...

Toward the middle and end of the Fifties, West European countries became somewhat more important as providers of aid to underdeveloped countries. It was partly due to the prodding of the United States that these countries, as they regained economic viability, should shoulder their share of the aid burden.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

The Negro problem, like all o...

The Negro problem, like all other political problems, is fundamentally a moral issue. This is realism, not idealism. Those of my colleagues who believe that they are particularly 'hard boiled' because they overlook the fact that human beings are struggling for their consciences are simply unrealistic.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

In society, liberty for one may mean the suppression of liberty for others.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

To the great majority of white Americans, the Negro problem has distinctly negative connotations. It suggests something difficult to settle and equally difficult to leave alone. It is embarrassing. It makes for moral uneasiness.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

Compared with members of other nations of Western civilization, the ordinary American is a rationalistic being, and there are close relations between his moralism and his rationalism. Even romanticism, transcendentalism, and mysticism tend to be, in the American culture, rational, pragmatic and optimistic.

Gunnar Myrdal 24 quotes

The ordinary American is the ...

The ordinary American is the opposite of a cynic. He is on the average more of a believer and a defender of the faith in humanity than the rest of the Occidentals. It is a relatively important matter to him to be true to his own ideals and to carry them out in actual life.
