This talk is occasioned by the recent publication of Economic Theory and Underdeveloped Regions by Dr. Gunnar Myrdal. Mr. Hazlewood examines the challenge which the book presents to much current economic theory about underdevelopment, and reflects in particular on the increasing disparities between rich and poor countries resulting from the free play of economic forces.
