'Whole-ing' the Parts and Righting the Wrongs

Summary: Pending
keywords by autghor: panaceas, systems thinking wholes effectiveness ABSTRACT:The recent reports that popular panaceas are not working most time is not surprising; they are applied anti-systemically. These failures have two principal sources. First, they manipulate the parts of systems without regard to how their manipulations affect the whole through interactions of the parts. Second, they tend to do the wrong things righter rather than the right things. It is better to do the right thing wrong than the worng thing right; the former leads to learning; the latter to reinforcement of error.
