Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The book "The Challenge of World Poverty: A World Anti-Poverty Program in Outline" was authored by Gunnar Myrdal and published in 1970. Myrdal was a Nobel Prize-winning Swedish economist, also renowned for his monumental work Asian Drama: An Inquiry into the Poverty of Nations. In this book, Myrdal outlines a comprehensive program for anti-poverty measures, arguing that economic development in the Third World requires fundamental institutional reforms in areas like land ownership, education, and health, rather than just capital investment. Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze are famous for their collaborative work on hunger and development (e.g., Hunger and Public Action), while Adam Smith is the father of modern economics, known for The Wealth of Nations.
