Abstract: We explores the intricate relationship between culture, liberal ideas, and economic growth, presenting a formal framework to better understand the drivers behind the Great Enrichment. It highlights how core values such as liberty, dignity, equality, and individualism play a pivotal role in enhancing human welfare and fostering technological innovation. By delving into these liberal principles, the study sheds light on the mechanisms through which societies can achieve sustained economic development.
