ROSTOW (W.W.)
The World Economy. History and Prospect.
‘Seizing on earlier criticism, Rostow published a massive volume, The World Economy: History and Prospect (1978). It examines world economic history from 1790 to 1976 in terms of population dynamics, long-term trends, cyclical fluctuations in production, prices and international trade. It extends the work of Stages with later data, and expands coverage to 20 countries’ (New Palgrave).
