I guess I must have missed something. Has there been any mention of this, or any discussion about it, on any one of these mailing lists? Has anyone here read it?

Cultural Software: A Theory of Ideology
by J.M. Balkan -- Yale University Press, (1998 !?)
"Cultural Software explains ideology as a result of the cultural evolution of bits of cultural knowhow, or memes. It is the first book to apply theories of cultural evolution to the problem of ideology and justice."

I do miss things, sometimes, I guess, but I would have thought this would be in the air, somewhere.
