Great question. (You know. I love smart questions. I just wish they were more frequent. 😉 )
Beginning with defense of sovereignty, then markets, money and prices, we create and convey information and incentives that individuals can subjectively adapt to at decreasing material costs (capital) even if at increasing subjective effort (thinking). And from there, complexity increases across the entire scope of measures, rules, and agreements that allow us to coordinate far beyond what is cognitively possible otherwise.
