• Traditional society

• Preconditions for take-off

• Take-off

• Drive to maturity

What exactly is the "traditional society" stage in Rostow's model of economic development

• When levels of technology within a country develop and the development of a transportation system encourages trade.

• When more transportation systems and infrastructure are built and manufacturing industries grow rapidly, growth poles emerge as investment increases.

• The economy is based mainly on farming with very limited technology.

• Growth is self-sustaining and leads to an increase in the number and types of industry.

• A rapid expansion of tertiary industries occurs while manufacturing declines.
