Wallerstein’s World System’s Theory has 5 stages.  The First stage is traditional society.  A traditional society has a very percentage of people engaged in agriculture.  The second stage is the Transitional stage.  The process of development starts with an elite group that initiates in economic activities.  The country starts to invest in new technology and also water supplies and transportation systems.
The third stage is The Takeoff.  These few takeoff industries in this stage have a limited number of economic activities like textiles and also food products.  But, what they do achieve is technical advances and become productive unlike other sectors of the economy are still dominated by the traditional practices.  The fourth stage is the drive to maturity.  This is where the workers become more skilled.
The fifth stage is the age of mass consumption.  This is when the economy shifts from production of heavy industry like steel and energy to consumer goods like cars and refrigerators. This model assumes that LDC’s will develop by moving from an early stage to a later stage. The United Sates for example was in stage one and became stage 2 in the first half of the nineteenth century then the third stage in the middle of the nineteenth century and then stage 4 in the late 1900’s and finally the 5th stage in the early twentieth century.
