Housing projects and private high rises seem like they would have similar problems...I'm not finding this easily, but confess I have no academic background in management!

- zamfi 4y agoAh, thanks, yes I'm familiar with the legacies of torn-down public housing projects.

The entire book is about systems and how we typically ignore them to our disadvantage. There is some overlap between this and Weinberg's Quality books. And, of course, _Systematics_ explains it all clearly.
