Walt Whitman Rostow's theory of economic growth phases is to identify specific stages of economic growth in different countries, each with specific characteristics. These stages are:
1. The Traditional Society
2. Preparation phase for the Perquisites for Take-off
3. The Take-off Period
4. Stage of maturity Move Towards Maturity
5. High Mass Consumption
So when do we "take off" and "take off"?
Why don't you go, and take off from what you are in it?
What is missing?
Why don't you "go" and "take off"? LINK

The cost of borrowing cash for the sale of US Treasury bonds overnight using repurchase agreements rose to 10 per cent, according to the data
This has raised the effective interest rate on federal funds to 2.25 per cent, higher than the Federal Reserve's target of 2 to 2.25 per cent
The bank said the operation would be conducted at a total of $ 75 billion, and talk of federal intervention has brought the repo rate back to zero, according to the Financial Times
