{"product_id":"modernization-cultural-change-and-democracy-ronald-inglehart-9780521609715","title":"Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy: The Human Development Sequence","description":"This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behavior. These changes are roughly predictable because they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised version of modernization theory presented here. Drawing on a massive body of evidence from societies containing 85% of the world's population, the authors demonstrate that modernization is a process of human development, in which economic development triggers cultural changes that make individual autonomy, gender equality, and democracy increasingly likely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Inglehart, Christian Welzel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521609712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521609715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Ronald Inglehart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920040526079,"sku":"9780521609715","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4d014487-a2c9-41a5-8083-80afb5f4530e.jpg?v=1680813267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernization-cultural-change-and-democracy-ronald-inglehart-9780521609715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
