The Stages of Economic Growth

The analysis of economic growth is central to this updated edition, where Professor Rostow incorporates recent economic and political changes alongside advancements in chaotic phenomena theory. The book outlines five stages of economic growth, providing detailed discussions and examples for each. It also addresses issues like military aggression and the nuclear arms race, culminating in a comparison of Rostow's non-communist manifesto with Marxist theory. Additionally, the volume retains original texts and includes responses to critics from earlier editions, making it valuable for both theorists and policy students.
