Think about this: in a complex enough information system, there's almost no one that understands all of it, therefore you need teams to take care of certain functions and processes. Multiply that by 3x10^33 and you have a economic system. Creating a representative of society like the state and the state creating institutions responsible of education, housing, finances, security, food production, etc. is why countries advance as a collective of individuals.

No individual, other than setting up lofty but ambiguous goals like reducing hunger/malnutrition, understand how or why certain goals should or not be set for certain sectors and why the processes are what they are to accomplish them.
