4.0 out of 5 starsToo general for modern application
By Robert David STEELE Vivas HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 19, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
EDIT of 28 Nov 09 to add two better books while deleting three book links:

Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny
Not by Genes Alone: How Culture Transformed Human Evolution

+ Ideas as roadmaps.

+ Ideas embedded in institutions "take over" in the absence of innovation

+ Decolonialization was an example of new ideas taking over (this really set me off, since I have a passing familiarity with wars of national liberation, CIA's legacy of ashes in Africa and elsewhere, blood diamonds, mercenary and gutter rats using war as their only path to wealth, women and wine, and of course the proxy wars and the rush by the US, UK, and Russia to sell arms indiscriminately to anyone [US sells three times more than UK and five times more than Russia].

+ Better example would be Yale and apartheid. When sub-state actors started shunning South African stock, *and* the white minority realized they could be over-run and exterminated by the black majority, the two in combination led to the release and rise of Nelson Mandela and the somewhat conniving and less than convivial collaboration of De Klerk.

+ Ideas can be especially strong in times of crisis.

+ Ideas create culture; culture defines truth (social construction of reality) and truth as it is perceived defines policy and behavior.

On balance this book disappoints. I raise it from three to four stars to provide for the possibility that I am at fault in failing to appreciate the totality of the book.Read more ›
