Society is a dissipative structure, and there is a thermodynamic logic that applies to it. Energy goes into a society, and outputs are metastable systems and the inevitable entropy. And sooner or later the amount of energy needed to maintain that metastability will exceed the energy available, this is in rough analogy to the Carnot engine efficiency, where efficiency is proportional to the temperature differences along the system boundaries. Everything makes perfect sense if you cast it in this heterodox framework.
