Leverage Points: Places To Intervene In A System (Via Architectures Of Control)

The Architectures of Control blog pointed to a very interesting article by Donella Meadows on the optimal places to intervene in a system. Her 21 page article titled "Leverage Points: Places to Intervene In A System" not only provides a good introduction to systems theory but provides very useful guidance on what she calls the "leverage points" in a system. In all, it is a very useful piece of background knowledge to have.
