Walt Whitman Rostow
An economist and high-ranking official who transitioned from MIT professor to National Security Advisor under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. The "take-off theory" presented in his book *The Stages of Economic Growth* profoundly impacted modern economics. During the Cold War, he leveraged this theory to advocate modernization policies preventing communist expansion. A hardline interventionist during the Vietnam War who spearheaded the intensification of the bombing of North Vietnam, he was an intellectual embodying Cold War thinking, never doubting the righteousness of his choices to his dying day.
