The term "vMEME" (the superscript "v" is for "value") refers to a core value system expressed through a culture's memes, i.e., its ideas, habits, and cultural preferences and practices that spread from person to person. In MEMEnomics Said E. Dawlabani reframes our economic history and the future of capitalism through the unique prism of a culture's value systems. Focusing on the long-term effects of economic policies on society, he expands psychologist Clare W. Graves' concepts of the hierarchical nature of human development and the theories of value systems of Beck and Cowan's Spiral Dynamics. He presents our economic history in terms of the hierarchy of five of the eight value-systems or vMEMEs of human existence that we can now identify. These new value preferences emerge as people interact with their environment to solve the problems of their "life conditions."

"I was asked to share my thoughts on some of the most important
books on the future of capitalism. Here is number 1: Memenomics:
The Next-Generation Economic System--It is a rich and illuminating
re-thinking of evolutionary economics by an outstanding
American-Lebanese thinker. Said E. Dawlabani is a meta-economist
and a key practitioner of the emerging science of value systems.
This book is a must-read for those looking to understand systemic
change." -- Jean Houston, Ph.D.
"In MEMEnomics, cultural creative Said E. Dawlabani provides a
resource to help us safely navigate this dark passage to a
healthier future. Dawlabani, a macroeconomics expert, exploits the
frontier science of biomimicry to offer a pioneering value-system's
approach to modeling the conscious evolution of business." -- Bruce
H. Lipton, PhD, Cell biologist and best-selling author of The
Biology of Belief
"Said Elias Dawlabani has opened the door to this crucial topic
with a groundbreaking conversation about the stages of development
of people and societies, and the emerging economic systems needed
to fit the life conditions we face. Read this book--and join the
conversation about healthy change." -- Cindy Wigglesworth, Author
of SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence;
President, Deep Change, Inc.
