1. traditional society: country not yet developed, majority of people in agriculture, most wealth
allocated to non productive industries like religion.
2. pre-conditions for takeoff: begin when an elite group initiates innovative economic activity and the
country begins to invest in new tech.
3. take off: rapid growth in a select few economic industries.
4. drive to maturity: modern tech diffuses to many industries that have rapid growth; workers are more
skilled and specialized.
5. age of mass consumption: economy shifts from production of heavy industry to consumer goods. -
✔✔Rostow's Stages of Development
1. Wasted Vote: spreads opposition voters across many districts as a minority.
2. Excess Vote: concentrates opposition voters in only a few districts.
3. Stacked Vote: links distant areas of like-minded voters through oddly shaped boundaries. -
