This article provides concluding reflections for the monograph on Values and Culture by focusing on the role that values can play in the shaping of global futures. It discusses the emerging reconceptualizations of values and culture vis-a-vis accelerated financial flows and neoliberal deregulation, transnational migration, social movements and incipient global publics. It emphasizes that the study of values is not just about social cohesion but also about social transformation. Social reality is never stagnant but always in the making. Sociology should thus not shy away from reflecting on the future but use its critical imagination to inspire and push public debates further
