Yr12 Rostow's Model

1 criticisms it that the model does not take into account countries that may become less developed such as Zimbabwe.

An example is a Zimbabwean football team trying to raise $50 000 to fly to North African for an African Champions League match. They made it but in the time it took to raise the cash the falling exchange rate mean the price kept going up. When they started to raise the money the cost was 300 billion Zimbabwe dollars and went they paid it the tickets cost 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.

Such bad grammar. Where is North African? I presume that the exchange rate MEANT that the price went up? Also went / when. Very poor standard.
