The System is Failing (Reimagining Impact, #1)

What if the next global superpower isn't a country — but the black market?
The System is Failing is not a warning. It's a reckoning.

In this bold opening volume of the Reimagine Impact trilogy, Dr Marius Joubert exposes the embedded design failures at the heart of the systems we rely on — economic, political, technological, and social. From mass protest movements and mental health crises to spiralling debt and the explosive rise of the global shadow economy, Joubert makes one thing clear: these aren't anomalies. They are the logical outputs of optimised systems, resulting in exclusion, some intentionally, but most unintentionally.

Drawing on decades of work in research, systems analysis and -design,  and impact innovation, Joubert contends that collapse is not our greatest risk. The real danger is inertia — the failure to redesign systems that are no longer fit for purpose.

Over three volumes, Joubert takes readers on a journey:

  • Book One exposes the structural failures of today's global systems.
  • Book Two maps where redesign is urgently needed.
  • Book Three offers a radical vision for delivering impact where it is needed.

With searing insight and grounded urgency, The System is Failing is both a call to conscience and a roadmap for change. For leaders, impact investors, citizens, activists, and innovators, this is not just a book — it's the first step toward designing a different, better future.

About the Author

Dr Marius Joubert is a systems analyst, strategist, and author working at the intersection of innovation, inclusion, and economic transformation. With over two decades of experience across advisory, research, and platform design, he has led initiatives that rethink the role of impact, equity, and technology in a fractured world.

His writing challenges the status quo — exposing the hidden failures of global systems and offering bold frameworks for redesign. In The System Is Failing, he explores how structural exclusion, technological acceleration, and social fragmentation are not random, but designed — and what we must do to change course.

Marius is the developer of a transformative global impact innovation solution, and a recognised voice in redefining investment, social systems, and purpose-led design.
