Buggy civilization? I don't think so, the improvement through evolution favors those who aim to grow exponentially. The alternative, micromanaging extremely complex systems, will unfortunately fail.

Trying to force the global economic system into a software analogy just feels silly and wrong.

It's the same thing you see software developers do all the time. "I know this one thing, let me apply it to everything. No no, your job can't be hard, I'm a software developer, let me think for you."

Breadth matters.
