12. Traditional
•Subsidence economy based on
effort intensive Farming.
- High effort, low output
•Producers consume the output.
Little available for trade
•Limited technology to process raw
materials or advance industry
•Informal Markets. Barter is king

13. Preconditions
for Take-Off
•Transportation infrastructure =
surplus from trade
•Tech improvement = Ag
Improvement, commercialized
•Amount of Capital & savings/
investment grows
•Single industry emerges
(textile)

14. Take Off
•Industrialization & Urbanization
•Growth = 1-2 regions & Handful of
Industries
•Amount of Capital & savings/
investment grows
•New political, social, and
infrastructure improvements to
support industry

15. Drive to
Maturity
•Diverse, self-sustained growth
of multiple industries
•New, diverse transportation
systems
•Econ development spreads to
all parts
•Advanced Manufacturing
develops

16. High Mass
Consumption
•Rapid expansion of tertiary
industries
•Industries shift to durable
consumer goods

17. II. Rostow: Criticisms
•Too Simple
•Necessitates Financial infrastructure for
success, relying on investment
•How will leaders use investment?
Palaces or infrastructure
•Ignores other necessary infrastructures:
Education, roads/rail, communication
•Assumes countries learn from others
experiences.

18. Development Theory
III.Wallerstein’s World System Analysis
A. Periphery: Low Income
1. Low tech use
2. High % Primary Activity
3. Low levels of Ed
B. Semi-Periphery
1. Former Periphery
2. Increased Econ Dev
3. Example: BRICS
C. Core: High Income
1. High Tech Use
2. High % Tertiary Activity
3. High levels of Ed, majority population
4. Examples: OECD, G8

21. Development Theory
IV.Structuralist Theory
A. Regional disparities are assumed, part of system
B. Geography determines economy, changes are
not easy.
V. Dependency Theory
A. Dominant areas rule over weak (imperialism)
B. Rich areas keep the poor areas down
1. Rich extract resources from poor
2. Rich loan $ to poor, keeps in debt
