We talk about post-capitalism like it’s a thing, but not post-democracy. All post-democracy paths seem like reactionary paths backwards. I suspect post-capitalism seems more real because it feels like we can improve on money as a technology but not on voting as a technology.
Sounds like it suggests a coupling *mechanism* (betting on beliefs) but does not model or design for belief processes per se. This is what I think models like those of Fukuyama achieve that those of economists generally do not, or do so in a caricatured way.

Yes, what we need are good mechanisms, not models.

I disagree. We need both and and at all 3 loci: economics, politics, and the coupling between them. Otherwise you just create runaway choice pressure and mechanisms that collapse under the weight of choice complexity.
