In this podcast we discuss the book Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows which introduces the foundational concepts of systems thinking.

It explains systems as interconnected elements with a function or purpose, highlighting the importance of stocks, flows, and feedback loops.

The podcast further explores various system dynamics, including oscillations and growth constraints, and identifies common "system traps" or archetypes like the tragedy of the commons and escalating behaviours, offering insights into potential leverage points for change and principles for effective engagement with complex systems.
