Arguably our inability to reform our economies to be more compatible with ecological sustainability is partly due to the level (and consequent inertia) of complexity in our systems though. Though I'd say the lack of motivation is largely due to human nature (there's presumably never been sufficient selective pressure to favour genes linked with the ability to properly plan for futures beyond our own lifespans or to be concerned by global-scale long term threats).
