Another great essay. But you have to know that systems thinking is still a dirty word, especially in our secular religion economics. And the only clash is between capitalism and socialism (both of which end in oligarchy). I was called a Marxist (not to mention worse things), when I never was. We can see what happens to people who want to talk about "systemic racism". In the intro to my opus https://www.press.umich.edu/2453488/systemic_choices, I talk about how being a systems guy was actually a curse. Our culture shoots the messenger who tries to get folks to focus beyond the trees to the forest, and toward the processes of forestation.
