Complex systems, by definition, are difficult to govern democratically: effective changes are counter-intuitive, take time to work, make things worse in the beginning and can’t be attributed back to a single change. This puts evolutionary pressure on polititians who make right decisions.<p>The error in the article is, that the complexity of the world stems from formal government. This is partially true but not entirely. The social, power, business, human, legal etc. structures would continue to exist regardless of whether someone governs them. The nature of the complexity would change but it would not disappear.
