Quote by Gunnar Myrdal

“I would say that it is an advantage to belong to a small country. We are apt to be less provincial in scholarly undertakings. We don't have enough literature in various problems - we must always look on the whole world. No country can be so provincial as a big country. The United States is, in my opinion, the most provincial country I have lived in - an I'm afraid that England and France don't come very far behind.”
