Thinking in Systems — Feedback Loops, Traps, and Leverage (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows as a systems-level analysis of why complex systems resist control and why simple fixes so often fail.
By focusing on system structure rather than individual intent, the book explains how feedback loops, delays, and bounded rationality produce recurring crises across environmental, economic, and social systems.
