Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: At the University Press, 1960. First edition. Very good in near fine dust jacket.. First printing of the title that established a particularly influential model of historic economic growth, by economist and National Security Advisor W. W. Rostow. In THE STAGES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, Rostow proposes what would later be known as the Rostovian take-off model of economic growth. This model was shaped by the current status of the Cold War, pitting the state of the US economy against those of Russia and various third world countries to compare their historical trajectories.
The success of THE STAGES OF ECONOMIC GROWTH brought Rostow to the attention of John F. Kennedy, who appointed him as an advisor before he became president. During Kennedy's presidency, he was a vocal advocate for the Vietnam War, and after Kennedy's assassination, he served as National Security Advisor to Johnson. An important work in the history of modern economics. 8'' x 5.25''. Original blue cloth binding with gilt spine lettering. Original unclipped ($3.75) dust jacket. 180 pages, including index. Small ink owner name to front pastedown. Underlining in red to the first 48 pages. Jacket with mild edgewear, tiny spot of soil to rear near spine; spine a bit sunned. Front flyleaf with a couple shallow creases to corner, small area of loss to corner of rear flyleaf. Else clean and tight.
