Beyond the Welfare State: Economic Planning and its International Implications

Business & Money

MYRDAL, Gunnar

Economics

Praeger

This important, definitive report on the state of the human environment has been commissioned by the Stockholm Conference Secretariat and is intended to provide a conceptual framework for the proceedings of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The goal of this report is to provide an entirely objective background for decision-making, and it is an important guide for the general reader. The book begins with the history of the environment. It discusses newly learned facts about the biosphere as they related to the ever-increasing environmental risks on international, regional, and local levels. Subsequent sections discuss the effects of these environmental problems on the world community, and identify the needs for international corrective actions. The last section serves as a summary and recapitulation.

Gunnar Myrdal's new book is a major statement about the myth of objectivity in research and the important role that our biases actually play. Originally presented at the Wimmer Lectures at St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pennsylvania, this book is addressed primarily to students and practitioners of the social sciences. Dr. Myrdal questions the existence of "scientific" objectivity and points to the many biases that permeate our approach to social problems. How can we deal with these biases, which form a major part of our heritage and education? Dr. Myrdal points to the genuine solutions as well as to the various forms of escapism often resorted to. Though brief, this is a major statement, the summation of a lifetime and a forthright attack on some dangerous and pervasive pretenses.
