Bela Banathy: Designing Social Systems in a Changing World
Highlights the importance of social systems design and points at resources
pdf of the book Points at resources; doesn't say how to change real-world systems - or point at systems being designed.
We like to quote this thought from the prolog:
I have become increasingly
convinced that even if people fully develop their potential, they cannot give
direction to their lives, they cannot forge their destiny, they cannot take charge of
their future—unless they also develop competence to take part directly and
authentically in the design of the systems in which they live and work, and
reclaim their right to do so. This is what true empowerment is about.
