Before the green revolution, Nobel Prize-winning economist Gunnar Myrdal predicted a bleak future for an Asia mired in poverty.
Gunnar Myrdal, in his book Asian Drama, identifies these requirements as: efficiency, diligence, orderliness, frugality, scrupulous honesty, liberation from static customs, abandoning group allegiance and favouritism, self-reliance, abandoning superstitious beliefs and prejudices, being ready for change and alert to opportunities as they arise, and a willingness to take the long view.
Born in 1898 in Sweden, Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal would become one of the leading economists of the twentieth century.
