I think that governments and institutions will continue to lag behind by a few decades for a while, as our tendency for higher trust in older people puts people in charge much later than when they would be most effective.

What will be interesting is when growth reaches the point where the governments are far enough behind that they aren't in control any more, but they don't realise it.
