Cross-posted to TQM-L, QUALITY, and DEN - sorry for any dups.
Given that there have been many conversations concerning the systems
thinking of Dr. Deming and his vision for a better world, Barker's
works, and more recently discussions of Senge's work in systems
thinking - the following may be of interest. I haven't checked it out
yet - but I think I'll give it a shot.
John Ellis found this info on the NEWLIST list and forwarded it.

New Listserv: WHOLESYS-L - Whole Systems List
The list is for the exploration of whole system principles,
particularly in regards to economic, ecological, sociological and
metaphysical transformation of our civilization. The intention is to
create and discuss a positive vision for the future of planet Earth
as a whole system.
The Whole Systems list is for the discussion of:
- the principles of whole systems,
- abundance economies,
- the creation of a new civilization,
- new global paradigms
- whole system metaphysics
- networking and synergy
This might be a list for you if you would consider reading books
like:
"Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth" by Buckminster Fuller
"Earth Ascending" by Jose Arguelles
"Paradigms" by Joel Arthur Barker
"The Age of the Network" by Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps
"The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot
"Finite and Infinite Games" by James P. Carse
"The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield
"The Mind Map Book" by Tony Buzan
"The Future of Mankind" by Tara Singh
This is an unmoderated public list. No flaming will be allowed, but
frank discussions are welcome. It is pre-supposed that the
participants support the general idea of creating a better future and
are able to tolerate diverse viewpoints.
