Thinking in Systems: A Primer

by Donella H. Meadows

ISBN 9781603580557

About This Book

A clear, thoughtful, and wide-reaching exploration of complex systems, in theory and in practice. Meadows was a masterful and elegant writer and researcher, and an early voice in systems analysis at MIT and elsewhere. This book, completed from draft manuscript after Meadows' death, is both accessible and deeply thought-provoking. She connects the dots between careful descriptions of systems analysis and systems insights, and the personal, social, societal, and political implications of systems thinking.

Editorial Note

The single best introduction to systems thinking: stocks, flows, feedback loops, delays, resilience, self-organization. Extraordinary clarity about why good intentions produce bad outcomes and where to find leverage.
