Focusing on the influence of historical context, this essay analyzes how contemporary events shaped Rostow's theories on economic growth stages. It explores the interplay between Rostow's personal background and the scientific debates of his era, suggesting that these factors significantly impacted his work. The concept of "intertextuality," as defined by Jim Marlow, is examined to understand the author's influences. The conclusion will assess the validity of the argument that Rostow's ideas were deeply rooted in the socio-political landscape of his time.
