Stuart Kauffman of the Santa Fe Institute has published a lot of his work and thoughts on self-regulating systems and how the larger they are, the more decentralized they need to be. Unfortunately, Kauffman doesn't make the next logical step that centralized government regulatory agencies might cause the same problems his NK models experience when they freeze at the "Stalinist limit." But maybe if enough of us try to educate people on the power of decentralized complex, adaptive systems, that might make the difference.
