Abstract: This paper reviews the main methodological innovations in Asian Drama . It considers whether Myrdal's perspectives have been adopted by development analysts, and where fresh thinking is needed, particularly in the light of changes occurring in the half-century since he wrote Asian Drama . The paper concludes that many of his ideas have been accepted, especially among heterodox economists, some themselves putting forward similar arguments.
