Feedbacks: Manage dynamical systems in business, econony, biology and social sciences, using balancing and reinforcing loops. by Juan Martin Garcia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Naturally, socio-economic and ecological systems are made up of hundreds of interconnected positive and negative loops and its ultimate behaviour isn't obvious. The concept of the loop is very useful because it enables us to start from the structure of the system that we are analysing and work towards its dynamic behaviour. If a system fluctuates persistently, remains in equilibrium or drops off rapidly, we can identify the structural reasons and decide how to go about modifying the causal loops that are going to influence it. This procedure can be applied to anything from the control of an industrial process to the monitoring of diabetes or cancer, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, or economic growth. Yet the most important use of this concept is in understanding how the structure of systems affects their behaviour. In the same market and in the same year, various firms that offer the same product present very different economic results. The less competent managers put this down to causes beyond their control - the cost of labour, competitors, customers' habits, and so on - when in fact they should study why the systems they control (their businesses) have a less competitive structure than those that show better results.

The Four Powers: Assessments of Democracy, Abuses of Centralized Power, and Blockchain-Based National Security (Technodemocracy) by Jason M. Hanania (4powers.com) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

What is power? How does it become centralized or decentralized? These questions are at the heart of understanding how governments work. Humankind has barely scratched the surface of what it takes to provide for democracy, equality, and reduced social risk. History has taught us that centralizing power in one group member creates maximum power inequality and typically results in abuse of power. Whether done consciously or unconsciously, that group member will inevitably make decisions that serve personal rather than public interests. It's human nature. In The Four Powers, Hanania provides a fast-paced historical assessment of centralized power. From World War I to crypto, Hanania explains the emerging trend toward technodemocracy: a decentralized system of governance whereby power-centralized institutions (such as churches, banks, political parties, campaign donors, Amazon, and the CIA) become obsolete. ABOUT THE AUTHOR From the author of Architecture of a Technodemocracy (2018), an Amazon bestseller for both U.S. politics and sociology, comes this eye-opening analysis of the human power structure. Jason M. Hanania is an attorney, an engineer, and a former U.S. government employee. INTRODUCTION An Equation for Power In 2016 I set out to write the book Architecture of a Technodemocracy. It documents a system for ending political party systems using technology and democracy. Before authoring that book, I searched far and wide for an institutional definition of democracy but found none. If you asked ten social scientists for a simple definition of democracy, you would get ten different responses. As an engineer, I found this frustrating. I wanted a more technical understanding of democracy, a mathematical framework to build on. The same way physical science provides equations for motion (such as force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma), I wanted a social science equation for democracy. After struggling with this problem for months, I ...
