This book contends that beneath the frenzied activism of the sixties
and the seeming quiescence of the seventies, a "silent revolution" has
been occurring that is gradually but fundamentally changing political
life throughout the Western world. Ronald Inglehart focuses on two
aspects of this revolution: a shift from an overwhelming emphasis on
material values and physical security toward greater concern with the
quality of life; and an increase in the political skills of Western
publics that enables them to play a greater role in making important
political decisions. Originally published in 1977. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
