… However, in the second half of the 20th century, as the North-South problem became more serious, the issue of the Industrial Revolution began to be placed in the world historical perspective as the issue of industrialization. Since Walt Whitman Rostow, the concept of industrialization, that is, the transition from an agricultural society to an industrial society, has often been linked to the issue of the beginning of modern economic growth, or the sustained growth of per capita national income.

【テイク･オフ】より

…テイク･オフとは，飛行機が滑走路でしだいに速度を速めながら前進するうちに，ある速度にまで達すると離陸して上昇を続けるように，伝統的な社会もその変化のモメンタムがある水準に達すると急速に近代化を始めることをあらわすためにアメリカの経済学者ロストーW.W.Rostow(1916‐　)が用いた言葉である。〈離陸〉と訳される。…
