You'd probably like Milton Friedman's ideas, and I'd be surprised if you've not already come across his work and YouTube lectures. There is something to be said for small government, but also can go too far: actors acting in their own best interest can obviously cause harm to society or to the larger group as a whole (See "tragedy of the commons"). Related to emergence is rapid iteration, and it's importance to analysing complexity, which is caputured nicely in "Boyd's law". See https://blog.codinghorror.com/boyds-law-of-iteration/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/boyds-law-of-iteration/, and then see if you can find the referenced paper by Roger Sessions. (Sessions seemed to caputure the essence of "Lean Startup" before it was cool...)
