Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of complexity theory with insights from A Brief Introduction to Unraveling Complexity by Mark M. Whelan, featuring contributions from Jack Strangeways. This podcast explores how complexity theory helps us understand large systems and collective behaviors—from the economy and social networks to global pandemics. Through an accessible, conversational format, we’ll explore the critical differences between complex and complicated systems, and why this distinction matters in an increasingly interconnected world.

Each episode breaks down key concepts, showing how complexity theory reveals the surprising ways new structures and patterns emerge from chaos. This is essential listening for anyone looking to make sense of our dynamic, uncertain environment and learn how understanding complexity can provide powerful tools for personal and professional decision-making.
