Your central point, that relatively little work has gone into academic study of coordination, seems really important.
I hope that reading Dath Ilan isn’t necessary, because that’s a hell of an entry cost. Shouldn’t there be an easier way to describe the possibilities and payoffs of better coordination? Surely there’s some existing work out there.
As I see it, the arc of history bends toward better coordination. But it does so sporadically and slowly on average.
I’d have little fear for the future if it wasn’t for AGI x-risk. That’s a hard coordination problem, and the main one I worry about.
