Title
On Systemic Balance: Flexibility and Stability in Social, Economic, and Environmental Systems,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Arguing that society has pursued shortrun approaches to decisionmaking that in the long term are counterproductive, On Systemic Balance presents a multidimensional and interdisciplinary alternative to problem solving. The usual method of dealing with problems such as housing shortages and environmental protection is a narrow, simplistic, quick, and intrusive solution. This type of solution ultimately ignores the many interrelationships within a system. The long term effect is imbalance and destabilization. The author reinforces his argument with economic and environmental examples. He then introduces alternative approaches to decision making and applies them to several settings. By stressing slow incremental intrusions, regard for interrelationships, and longer term balance, the author suggests that we might redefine problems more appropriately, develop less harmful and more enduring solutions, and provide a more stable environment.Goldberg maintains that we cannot truly predict the consequences of our actions, particularly largescale actions taken over a short period of time. He presents his argument first by equipping the reader with a set of multidisciplinary tools and second by demonstrating the poor results of our present decisionmaking style. He then introduces an alternative approach which borrows from biology, economics, management, and anthropology and applies it to three distinct settings.
