Thinking in Systems: A Primer

Donella Meadows

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish recommends it affiliate
The world is governed by systems, many of which are quite sophisticated. Learning to understand how they work and more importantly, how to work them, is an important skill to develop in building systems in your company and understanding how markets work. This is the de facto book to re-shape your mind to think this way.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
