Abstract

Development is the process of a Grand Transition that consists of a set of interacting transitions in almost all fields of society. Many of these transitions are well-known: The demographic transition, the urban transition, the human capital transition, the sectoral transition, and such. Together all transitions change society profoundly, but the changes are also necessary for development. This essay deals with the problems caused when a culture resists key parts of the Grand Transition.
