The Development Curve		This graph traces the growth of population through all recorded history, and projects it into the future to the year 2000 A.D. However, the same sort of curve - a near right angle slightly rounded at the corner - is of quite general application, and would be followed fairly closely by almost any significant factor of modern civilization. The reason why one curve fits so many and such varied factors of modern life is that what it really measures is the passage of the human race from one kind of history to another: from subsistance to what is now called development. This passage and its implications constitute the single most important clue to an understanding of our civilization - and of all history before it. If the political divisions of the world at this moment were distributed according to their degree of development, they would be strung out along the same curve, with the United States at the top of the curve, the western and westernized countries below it on the "vertical" leg, the more "advanced" Communist countries on the rounded corner, and most Communist and all "developing" countries along the bottom.
