Re: Re: WWR & mysteries of the organism



WW Rostow was not right, and this I
will not debate with you. But the reasons why are quite different.
Neither Argentina, nor Uruguay, nor least of the three Chile had
taken off.


By Rostow's criteria, Argentina had taken off by the 1880s--and
Rostow saw "take off" as irreversible. The fact that Argentina today
is not a rich country is proof that Rostow was wrong in his belief
that "take off" was irreversible...
