Stages Of Growth

Chapter 23 in Macrofoundations of Political Economy and Development, 2007, pp 215-222 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When W.W. Rostow published The Stages of Economic Growth (1960), the Soviet Union was flying high. A few years earlier, the USSR was the first to launch a satellite into space. It was getting ready to put the first man into orbit. The Soviet leader had famously told a group of Western ambassadors in Moscow, ‘Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you’.
