About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why the unsinkable Titanic sank ... or the poor in India eat better bread than the rich in America ... or hospital patients are blamed for not getting well ... or why, in general, things that don't work badly don't work at all? Everyone does. But, if you have wondered what can be done about the underlying perversity of animate and inanimate nature, you are clearly a Systems-person. And you need help.
