Whether it concerns the consumption and sustainability of energy and raw materials or political and economic decisions, the more complex a problem becomes, the more likely people are to simplify it and focus on a few seemingly important features. The less significant a facet of a problem appears, the more likely it is to be ignored and excluded from the overall context. The consequences of this misguided approach to complexity are demonstrated by environmental, political, economic, and financial crises with alarming regularity. Natural complexity cannot be easily brushed aside. In this book, E. W. Udo Küppers does not stop at diagnosing and accepting this problem but presents a different way of thinking: the network of effects thinking. Through practical examples, he illustrates how it can be effectively applied in politics and society.
