The R. Buckminster Fuller FAQ: Fuller's Ideas About Human Society: Critical Path

Next Previous Contents 3. Fuller's Ideas About Human Society: Critical Path Fuller was interested and made contributions on a wide range of issues in the area academics call the ``social sciences''. Much of this work addressed economics. http://www.cjfearnley.com/fuller-faq-3.html
Critical Path was the last of Buckminster Fuller's books, published shortly before his death in 1983 and summing up his lifetime of work. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller was an American architect, author, designer, futurist, inventor and visionary who devoted his life to answering the question "Does humanity have a chance to survive lastingly and successfully on planet Earth, and if so, how?". He is frequently referred to as a genius (albeit a slightly eccentric one). http://peakenergy.blogspot.com/2009/02/buckminster-fullers-critical-path.html

Buckminster Fuller's Critical Path

by Kirby Urner Originally posted: May 11, 1998 Last updated: June 19, 2000 R. Buckminster Fuller (b. July 12, 1895, d. July 1, 1983) is perhaps most easily pigeon-holed as the last of the New England Transcendentalists, although Fuller himself always resisted being pigeon-holed. http://www.grunch.net/synergetics/bio.html

Bio

World Game | The Buckminster Fuller Institute

In the 1960's Buckminster Fuller proposed a “great logistics game” and “world peace game” (later shortened to simply, the “World Game”) that was intended to be a tool that would facilitate a comprehensive, anticipatory, design science approach to the problems of the world. The use of “world” in the title obviously refers to Fuller's global perspective and his contention that we now need a systems approach that deals with the world as a whole, and not a piece meal approach that tackles our problems in what he called a “local focus hocus pocus” manner. The entire world is now the relevant unit of analysis, not the city, state or nation. For this reason, World Game programming generally used Fuller's Dymaxion Map for the plotting of resources, trends, and scenarios essential for playing. http://bfi.org/about-bucky/buckys-big-ideas/world-game
