About this content
The Unaccountability Machine (2024) explores how large institutions and systems often lead to decisions that defy logic and accountability. It examines the role of bureaucracy, misaligned incentives, and structural complexity in creating environments where responsibility is diffused and poor outcomes become inevitable. Drawing on insights from management cybernetics, it also proposes strategies to identify and address these systemic flaws.
