We need to get better at writing software before we do that. The idea of putting software as it's written now in charge of planning a national economy is terrifying.

Well - the idea of putting the people who regularly crash economies in charge of writing that software is terrifying.

A good model would be an improvement on what we have now. But you need to talk to heterodox economists to get the good models, and that's unlikely to happen for political reasons.
