Can you suggest a good introductory book for Systems Dynamics?
The last time the topic came up, I read the popular one from Donella Meadows but I found it too shallow [0].
Now I'm considering "An Introduction to General Systems Thinking" because it was written a computer scientist, Gerald Weinberg.
Also, is there any free tool to play around with the modelling of feedback loops? LOOPY [1] is too simple quickly.

- qznc 6y agoOk, saw "Sterman's Business Dynamics" in the other comment. :) Any good tool suggestions?
- jacques_chester 6y agoSheetless looks promising: https://sheetless.io/ https://sheetless.io/ There are also the classic tools like Stella, but they're expensive.
