Abstract
This volume offers a reflection upon certain key phenomena affecting our own lives as well as those of communities, nations and states. It is a thinking out loud in the true sense of the term, for it stems from and has matured in the course of my teaching and research activities, and in many encounters with friends and adversaries alike here, there and everywhere – Europe, Africa, America, Asia.
Finally, I hope that my frank and uninhibited style, long an inveterate habit, will be endured by my readers on the rationale that progress in the social sciences lies through controversy, which should be sharpened and not veiled.
Myrdal, 1974, p.VIII
