About the Book

An irreverent and controversial examination of why some
nations succeed that will overturn all received wisdom
"An entertaining and important counterweight to the ideology
and cynicism that surrounds discussions of world problems
today" STEVEN PINKER
With an abundance of data and evidence, Move UP explores the
societal and biological factors that determine whether cultures
are able to ascend socially, economically and intellectually. This
provocative, ambitious and entertaining book devises a formula
that will allow countries and individuals to assess their own
potential for upward mobility. Drawing on science and statistics
as much as on human instinct and emotion, Move UP
reconsiders the modern world with a motion to improving it.
‘Not since The Naked Ape have I seen a book that so gleefully revels
in tweaking the nose of conventional sensitivities. Whether you love
it or hate it, this quirkily perceptive - or insouciantly provocative -
book will enliven dinner party conversations, and will delight and
infuriate in equal measure’ Richard Dawkins, best-selling author of
THE SELFISH GENE and THE GOD DELUSION
‘Many have tried to address small pieces of this great puzzle, but
Rapaille and Roemer are the first to attempt a comprehensive
answer to this eternal question. Because the stakes are so high, their
work deserves serious study and attention. The destiny of nations
may depend on ideas like theirs’ Michio Kaku, author of PHYSICS
OF THE FUTURE and PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
‘Move UP is a splendid book, totally engaging from start to finish. It
showcases the human drive to strive for betterment within a complex
matrix of our biology and culture. It challenges the reader to think
about fresh ideas about ways to ascend, as well as highlighting the
impediments that must be overcome to progress toward
improvement’ David M. Buss
