A number of writers (Mintzberg being perhaps the most notable one) point out just how inconsistent definitions of strategy are. It’s hard! I enjoyed Rumelt, but to some eyes, he over-simplifies. “Strategy as theory” for example isn’t well r

It’s hard though. For Stafford Beer, variety is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. After Bateson’s “the difference that makes the difference”, not all differences are significant. Currently reading The Grammar of Systems by Patrick Hovers

By “debt” I meant bonds, US Treasuries for example. Is there a way to render them worthless only to Russia? Edit: In case it is not obvious, by not honouring future coupon and principal repayments

I don’t believe that removal from SWIFT means an end to payments. Much more likely it makes the process considerably more manual, still worthwhile for larger trades. Really it’s the hit to the volume of trades that does the damage. However,
