This is the first study to demonstrate the role of cultural change in the global rise of freedoms. The author illustrates how emerging 'emancipative values' intertwine technological and institutional changes into a single trend toward human empowerment. He interprets his broad and far-reaching findings in a new and coherent framework: the evolutionary theory of emancipation.
