" Costa says that in the 21st century "we have not only perfected counterfeit correlation, but we have fallen under its spell. The fifth and final supermeme, extreme economics, "occurs when simple principles in business, such as risk/reward and profit/loss, become the litmus test for determining the value of people and priorities, initiatives and institutions," says Costa. Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway scooter, is one of the visionaries Costa cites in her chapter on extreme economics. Another example Costa cites -- in the chapter after the one on extreme economics -- is the concept of microloans, developed by Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for perfecting and popularizing microfinance.. Costa believes that the mounting complexity of a problem can outpace the brain's ability to absorb and address it.</p>
