Memenomics, by Said Dawlabani, is an enormously frustrating book, full of brash promises that it cannot fulfill. Nevertheless it offers much useful information, and a new way to think about society, politics, economics, and some of the larger problems of the world, especially Global Warming. There it stops short. Even though it refers here and there to problems of developing countries, it never addresses the fundamental problems of poverty, oppression, government corruption, and the aftermath of centuries of imperialism around the world.
The book was published in 2012, during the Obama administration, which it praises in part for showing the way forward, but calls out many points of failure in its approach and its programs.
