This article needs:
1. A correct title entry: Is it Post-Materialism, post-materialism, Post-materialism, Postmaterialism or postmaterialsim (else?)?

2. A sound definition.

3. Outline the debate among social scientists, political scientists, ect. regarding whether or not postmaterialism is an actual trend.

4. Whatever else you know!


Note:

I learned this term in college in an environmental science class four years ago.

On the textbook there was a graph outlining the postmaterialistic trend in different countries.

I think postmaterialism has got to somehow be related to the wiki concept, as far as non-materialistic collaboration between individuals, so the term should definitely be here.

This is my first Wikipedia entry. Sorry for the mess. I need to figure out how to somehow put notes in an entry for other editors to collaborate with me.

Post-materialism has to do with a current trend that is especially evident in scandinavian (Nordic?) coutries (and from what I gather, it loosely goes along with the rate of partecipation of women in politics and economics) regarding the tendency of individuals caught in such trend to place less value on money if it hinders freedom, sustainability, democracy.

Post-materialism very likely is somehow linked to Egalitarianism, Libertarianism, with the exception that libertarianism in the US is generally associated with the free market and capitalistic values.
