Abstract
Inglehart's theory of changes in personal values (postmaterialism) in industrialized societies is used to examine recent changes in Swedish politics and social welfare policy. Instead of looking only at survey research data to establish the presence or absence of postmaterialist values, actual changes in policy are cited to understand how much influence can be attributed to postmaterialism. It is found that postmaterialist values are useful in understanding recent Swedish policy shifts. Implications for the United States are discussed.
