Review: Thinking In Systems: A Primer

Thinking In Systems: A Primer Thinking In Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An eye-opening book, in the sense that, chances are, you've already been using these methods for thinking about certain things in life, but hadn't even thought about applying them to others. At least this was the case for me. 


Some of the concepts were fascinating, like Romania's attempt to increase population by banning abortion, and how it failed miserably. 

I think I would've preferred either a more comprehensive list of use cases or else a more narrow scope (i.e. how this applies to businesses, etc.). Regardless, some great concepts and an excellent primer.
