Abstract
Governments are evolving new ways to think, combining observation, memory, analysis, models, and creativity. This article describes how they think, how the COVID crisis has accelerated innovation in new ways of thinking, the use of metaphors to understand these processes, the role of democracy and civil society, and the new skills needed.
