Economic, technological, and sociopolitical changes have been
transforming the cultures of advanced industrial societies in
profoundly important ways during the past few decades. This
ambitious work examines changes in religious beliefs, in motives
for work, in the issues that give rise to political conflict, in
the importance people attach to having children and families, and
in attitudes toward divorce, abortion, and homosexuality. Ronald
Inglehart's earlier book, The Silent Revolution (Princeton, 1977),
broke new ground by discovering a major intergenerational shift in
the values of the populations of advanced industrial societies.
This new volume demonstrates that this value shift is part of a
much broader process of cultural change that is gradually
transforming political, economic, and social life in these
societies.
Inglehart uses a massive body of time-series survey data from
twenty-six nations, gathered from 1970 through 1988, to analyze the
cultural changes that are occurring as younger generations
gradually replace older ones in the adult population. These changes
have far-reaching political implications, and they seem to be
transforming the economic growth rates of societies and the kind of
economic development that is pursued.
