This book explores the question of whether and how meme theory or
"memetics" can be fruitfully utilized in evolutionary economics and
proposes an approach known as "economemetics" which is a
combination of meme theory and complexity theory that has the
potential to combat the fragmentation of evolutionary economics
while re-connecting the field with cultural evolutionary theory. By
studying the intersection of cultural and economic evolution,
complexity economics, computational economics, and network science,
the authors establish a connection between memetics and
evolutionary economics at different levels of investigation. The
book first demonstrates how a memetic approach to economic
evolution can help to reveal links and build bridges between
different but complementary concepts in evolutionary economics.
Secondly, it shows how organizational memetics can help to capture
the complexity of organizational culture using meme mapping.
Thirdly, it presents an agent-based simulation model of knowledge
diffusion and assimilation in innovation networks from a memetic
perspective. The authors then use agent-based modeling and social
network analysis to evaluate the diffusion pattern of the Ice
Bucket Challenge as an example of a "viral meme." Lastly, the book
discusses the central issues of agency, creativity, and normativity
in the context of economemetics and suggests promising avenues for
further research.
