Benjamin - 1964 paper on General Systems Theory

Kenneth Boulding on General Systems Theory (Boulding was the main University of Michigan faculty member for my cognate courses, in Economics) He wrote one of the key books in my professional life - "The Image" - Where he contributed strongly to the idea that we are all acting on our (imperfect) perceptions.
