Profile

Gunnar Myrdal was born December 6, 1898, in Gustafs, Sweden. Until the early 1930s he emphasized pure theory, in sharp contrast to his later concern with applied economics and social problems. He applied this theoretical approach to macroeconomics in 1931 when, as a member of the Stockholm school of economics, he delivered the lectures resulting in Monetary Equilibrium (1939).
