Summary, etc. This book is the outcome of a course taught for three successive semesters<br/>at The University of Texas at Austin from February 1969 to May 1970.<br/>And my first acknowledgment is to the students who shared in elaborating<br/>They represent at least interim conclusions to a line of inquiry begun<br/>as an undergraduate at Yale in the mid-1930s. Two aspects of Marx' analysis<br/>interested me. First, his historical sequence from feudalism through capital-<br/>ism and socialism to communism. The Stages of Economic Growth was, in<br/>part, an alternative to that sequence, done with the advantage of another<br/>century's knowledge of history. Second, there were Marx' propositions<br/>linking the economy and the technical relationships within it to politics. I<br/>found these challenging, while reacting against his underlying view that<br/>politics was essentially a super-structure to economic life.<br/>The bulk of my subsequent professional work was in the field of economic<br/>history, more narrowly defined; but I continued to explore this relationship,<br/>assuming from the beginning that societies were interacting organisms and<br/>economic factors did not enjoy a peculiar priority. Later I introduced the<br/>additional dimension of war and its playback effects on economic, social,<br/>and political life.<br/>At M.I.T., in the 1950s, studies on the Soviet Union, Communist China,<br/>and the United States forced me to explore more deeply the determinants of<br/>politics; and I concluded upon finishing The Stages of Economic Growth that<br/>I would next turn to formulate, in a systematic way, what I thought I had<br/>learned over the years about politics.
