What is the social psychology and psychohistory associated with [natural] human economic activity & behaviors, such that “capitalism” was born out of it? Does such economic activity act alone and exclusively in world system history or in concert/interactively with the dynamics of idea-informational-communicative exchanges? And, what is the connection of memes/memetics to such patterns of economic/world systemic activity in world history? If we don’t ask these questions and/or others about ecology, sociobiology, physics, etc. as they impinge on our human activity over the ages, we are left with a theory or analysis that can do nothing more than deal with the sociopolitical aspects of economic behavior in world history. All it can show is “who – in a particular time and place – was on top and who wasn’t, etc.” in the world economy of a given historical period.
