Features: "The Mystery" pursues unified theories and unified methods that transcend disciplinary boundaries, which is an important feature of modern scientific development. The systematic dynamic simulation model introduced in this book is a concrete embodiment of this feature. It can be used for economics, management, environmental ecology, and social evolution. The "Limits to Growth," which caused a global sensation in the 1970s, and the "Fifth Discipline," which has been a bestseller in recent years, are both influential works based on system dynamics models. This book provides an introductory knowledge of system dynamics, with numerous examples, explaining complex concepts in an accessible way. It serves as a textbook for economics and management schools and related research institutions, as well as an important reference book for various disciplines.
