Rostow's Stages of Economic Growth model outlines five stages of economic development:
1) Traditional society characterized by subsistence farming and barter
2) Preconditions for take-off including development of mining and agriculture and growing acceptance of technology
3) Take-off driven by increasing industrialization, rising savings/investment, and declining agricultural employment
4) Drive to maturity where industry diversifies, technology spreads, and universal education/healthcare are established
5) Age of high mass consumption where services dominate and material wealth leads to focus on quality of life
The model views development through a capitalist lens and has been criticized for not applying well to non-Western countries.
It described, how do we measure development. Various development indicators. HDI, GDP, GNP etc. Where India stands in HDI. the comparison among developed nations and among SAARC nations.
This theory throws light on changes in birth and death rate and consequently on the growth rate of population. The relationship between birth and death rate changes with economic development and a country has to pass through different stages of population growth. This theory depicts the four stages of demographic transition that a country has to pass.

THE CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT AND UNDER-DEVELOPMENT
What is development?
In general, development is the process of improving the quality of human life.
The economic view of development is that it is the capacity of a national economy whose initial economic condition has been more or less static for a long period of time, to generate and ascertain an annual increase in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the rate of 5% to 7%.
Development includes: quantity of resources available, equitable distribution of income, people’s quality of life e.g. access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, security, etc.
· Development is a multi-dimensional process involving major changes in social structures, personal attributes and national institutions.
· Development is progressive
· The new economic view of development defines economic development in terms of its reduction or elimination of poverty, inequality and unemployment within the context of a growing economy.
Underdevelopment:
This is a state of inadequate development. It is characterized by diverse problems including unemployment, low level of technology and skills, under-utilization of resources, low literacy levels, confusion and ignorance, hopelessness, etc. It affects more than 3 billion people in the world.
Objectives of development
1. To increase availability and widespread distribution of basic life-sustaining goods such as food, shelter, security and health.
2. To raise the standards of living with emphasis on higher income, better education and greater attention to cultural and human values, all of which serve not only to enhance material well-being but also to generate individual and national esteem.
3. Expansion of the range of economic and social choices available to individuals and the nations in order to free them from servitude and dependency.
Core values of development
(i) Sustenance: This means the ability to meet basic needs. All people have certain basic needs without which life would be impossible. These life-sustaining human needs include food, shelter, health and protection. Their absence implies a condition of absolute underdevelopment.
· A basic function of all human activity is to provide as many people as possible with the means of overcoming the helplessness and misery arising from lack of the above.
· Without sustained and continuous economic progress at the individual as well as society level, the realization of human potential would not be possible.
(ii) Self-esteem : This means a sense of worth and self respect
· The nature and form of this self-esteem may vary from society to society, culture to culture.
(iii) Freedom from servitude: This means human freedom i.e. emancipation from alienating materials e.g. conditions of life and from social servitude to nature, ignorance, other people, misery, institutions and dogmatic beliefs.

In economics, the cycle of poverty is the “Set of factors or events by which poverty, once started, is likely to continue unless there is outside intervention“. The poverty cycle can be called the “Development trap" when it is applied to countries.
Factors that may be used to define the level of development of a country.(san...Santosh Sapkota
Over the past two decades and, particularly after the Social Summit in Copenhagen, development
practice increasingly has paid more attention to the underlying causes of poverty and social
exclusion. The World Bank, like other international agencies, has concluded that understanding
the socio-cultural, political, and institutional context is essential for developing actions that
induce and support changes leading to poverty reduction and more inclusive, accountable, and
cohesive societies and institutions.-World Bank

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Rostow's Stages of Economic Growth: A Capitalist Approach
1. Rostow’s Stages of Economic
Development:
A Capitalist Approach
MD. ALAUDDIN
UTTARA UNIVERSITY, BANGLADESH
2. Development Models
How do countries develop?
If we can understand how development occurs, strategies can be
adopted to help countries to develop
3. Rostow’s Stages of Growth
Rostow's Stages of Economic Growth model is one of the major
historical models of economic growth. It was published by
American economist Walt Whitman Rostow in 1960. The model
postulates that economic growth occurs in five basic stages, of
varying length.
This model is applicable to all societies, but viewed from a Market
Economy Perspective.
Countries can be placed in one of five categories in terms of its
stage of growth:
4. 1. Traditional Society
Characterised by
◦ subsistence economy – output not
traded or recorded
◦ existence of barter
◦ high levels of agriculture and labour
intensive agriculture
◦ people have little collective ability to
raise their economic productivity
because they lack the technical and
scientific knowledge to do so
◦ Political power is concentrated in the
hands of the landowners
◦ Family and inheritance are highly
valued.
Village in Losotho. 86% of the resident workforce in
Lesotho is engaged in subsistence agriculture.
5. 2. Pre-conditions to Take Off
◦ Development of mining industries
◦ Increase in capital use in agriculture
◦ Necessity of external funding
◦ Some growth in savings and investment
◦ Growing acceptance of technology, a
rapidly increasing population, the growth
of education, rise of banks, and the
growing efficiency of farming
◦ The diminishing number of farmers must
be able to feed the swelling urban
populations and prevent unemployment
in the towns by demanding industrial
products
The use of some capital equipment can help increase
productivity and generate small surpluses which can be
traded.
6. 3. Take off
◦ Increasing industrialisation
◦ Further growth in savings and
investment
◦ Some regional growth
◦ Number employed in agriculture
declines
◦ Output per person increases
enormously, and real wages rise.
◦ The country as a whole benefits
from advances in a few leading
industries
◦ Widespread diffusion of literacy
which results from compulsory
education
◦ Health care improves and life
expectancy increases
At this stage, industrial growth may be linked to
primary industries. The level of technology required
will be low.
7. 4. Drive to Maturity
◦ Growth becomes self-sustaining – wealth
generation enables further investment in
value adding industry and development
◦ Industry more diversified
◦ Increase in levels of technology utilised
◦ Technology gradually spreads throughout
all areas of economic activity
◦ Society adapts to the changes, universal
education and medical facilities are
created as well as democracy becomes
established
◦ The government begins to appropriate
larger proportions of the national wealth
◦ As the old ways die, people begin to fell
free in their choice of beliefs
As the economy matures, technology plays an
increasing role in developing high value added
products.
8. 5. Age of High Mass Consumption
◦ High output levels
◦ Mass consumption of consumer
durables
◦ High proportion of employment in
service sector
◦ Leading sectors shift more toward
services, especially those of finance,
information and government
◦ Material production continues,
social welfare becomes a higher
value, and people talk of the quality
of life rather than of the standard of
living.
◦ There is a broad range of choice, not
only for the individual, but for the
whole of society
Service industry dominates the economy – banking,
insurance, finance, marketing, entertainment, leisure
and so on.
9. Criticisms
The model is based on American and European history and defines the American
norm of high mass consumption as integral to the economic development
process of all industrialized societies.
This model assumes the inevitable adoption of Neoliberal trade policies which
allow the manufacturing base of a given advanced polity to be relocated to
lower-wage regions.
Rostow's model does not apply to the Asian and the African countries as events
in these countries are not justified in any stage of his model.
The stages are not identifiable properly as the conditions of the take-off and pre
take-off stage are very similar and also overlap.
According to Rostow, growth becomes automatic by the time it reaches the
maturity stage but Kuznets asserts that no growth can be automatic there is need
for push always.
