Unfortnately, neither business management nor governing is a total disclosure game. Even if it was, it's likely to be as complicated or more so than say Go (a great total disclosure game). Even the strongest Go players eventually have to resort to what 'looks good' or 'feels right' because they lack the (perhaps expressible) analytical skills to deduce a correct answer. I guess, we hope that our intrinsic value system (gut feel?) matches with our chosen political leaders who make decisions we are likely to favor regardless of whether we know or not if it is the right choice in the short term, the medium term or the long term. In fact, even the relatively highly constrained environment of Go has not been solved computationally, and performance of the best program doesn't approach anywhere near the same level as the best Chess programs, so, relucantly I wonder, what hope is there of computationally solving problems involving millions of agents in dozens of countries acting in myriads of ways (for example)? May be that wasn't the question.
