      Exploring the intersection of cybernetics and organizational theory, this work presents a novel method for evaluating organizations across various sectors. By employing Transaction Byte Analysis, it enhances Transaction Costs Economics, offering insights into complex organizational dynamics. The author argues that network governance fosters resilience and adaptability, contrasting with traditional hierarchies that stifle contrariness. The research delves into why natural systems avoid extended communication hierarchies, providing a fresh perspective on governance structures influenced by multiple boards.

      A revised edition of a classic work long out of print, this book is based on the Schumacher Society Seminars on Community Economic Transformation. It presents the underlying ideas and essential institutions for building sustainable communities. The three major sections of the book deal with community land trusts and other forms of community ownership of natural resources; worker-managed enterprises, and other techniques of community self-management; and community currency and banking.
