W.W. Rostow’s Model of Development Development and modernization occurs in steps linearly due to increased levels of investment.

The Traditional Society High percentage of people in agriculture Limited technology Much of country’s wealth allocated to “nonproductive” activities such as military and religion

The Preconditions for Takeoff Elitist groups initiates economic activities Investment in new tech and infrastructure, which will increase productivity

The Takeoff Rapid growth in a few economic activities Revolutionary changes in agriculture and industry

The Drive to Maturity Modern technology diffuses to many industries Skilled and specialized workers

The Age of Mass Consumption Most people are prosperous – have income to consume massive quantities of “crap” and pay for essentials Economy shifts from industry to production of consumer goods

Wallerstein’s World-Systems Theory: Main Ideas: 1.) The world economy has one market and a global division of labor 2.) Although the world has multiple states, almost everything takes place within the context of the world economy 3.) The world economy has a three-tier structure World Economy created by the 3 Cs: 1.) Capitalism – people, corporations, and states produce goods and services and exchange them in the world market, with the goal of achieving profit. 2.) Commodification – the process of placing a price on a good and then buying, selling, and trading the good. 3.) Colonialism – brought the world into the world economy, setting up an interdependent global economy.
