Cultural Evolution argues that people's values and behavior are shaped by the degree to which survival is secure.
It explains the rise of environmentalist parties, gender equality, and same-sex marriage through a new version of modernization theory.
The book analyzes data from over 100 countries to show how changing levels of security have reshaped human values and societies.
It also addresses recent authoritarian reactions, such as the rise of Trump and Brexit, in the context of diminishing job security and rising inequality.
