Q

critique of linear stages of growth model

A

➔ It assumes a one-size-fits-all goal of industrialized, capitalist liberal democracy.
➔ It can be a justification of foreign aid.
➔ Both the Rostow and Harrod-Domar models implicitly assume that underdeveloped countries have the necessary structural,
institutional, and attitudinal conditions to convert new capital effectively into higher
levels of output.

59
Q

although it need not be in itself sufficient, for an event to
occur. But for this growth to continue, social, institutional,
and attitudinal changes may have to occur.

necessary condition

60
Q

Q

subsistence sector AND a high-productivity modern, urban
industrial sector

68
Q

72
Q

Economic growth that continues
over the long run based on saving, investment, and
complementary private and public activities.

A

self sustaining growth

73
Q

Assumptions of Lewis Model

A
  1. The marginal Product of labor is zero (surplus
    labor)
  2. this implies that labor can be removed from the
    agricultural sector without any loss of output in
    that sector
  3. The rural supply of labor to industrial section is
    perfectly elastic
  4. full employment in the urban sector
  5. Constant urban wage- premium over a fixed average
    substinence wage.

A

theotonio dos santos
