      abstract = {Ideas influence people. In particular, extremely  well-developed sets of ideas shape individuals, groups, and  societies in far-reaching ways. This book establishes these  "idea systems" as an academic concept. Through three  intense episodes of manipulation and mayhem connected to  idea systemsEuropes witch hunts, the Mao Zedong-era  "revolutions," and the early campaign of the U.S. War on  Terrorthis book charts the cognitive and informational  matrices that seize control of peoples mentalities and  behaviors across societies. Through these, the author  reaches two conclusions. The first, that we are all  vulnerable to the dominating influence of our own matrices  of ideas and to those woven by others in the social system.  The second, that even the most masterful manipulators of  idea programs may lose control of the outcomes of  programmatic manipulation. Amongst this analysis,  sixty-plus central conceptual terminologies are provided  for readers to analyze multiform idea systems that exist  across space, time, and cultural contexts.},
