Description
"Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the world's most provocative, creative, and profound thinkers on the subject of management, and he records his thinking with a flair that is unmatched. His writing is as much art as it is science. He is the most viable system I know." - Dr Russell L. Ackoff, The Institute for Interactive Management, Pennsylvania, USA.
This is a highly original book both in content and format. It presents thirteen 'arguments for change', which are linked by a personal commentary, and by a deeper, 'metalinguistic', commentary.
Platform for Change is completely self-contained. It does not deal at all with the nature of viable systems, but is directed towards the hope that our planet may yet remain viable—and the human race survive.
