This theory is highly generalized. Depending on context any critical resource may become precious as a result of economic problems and social disparity. Sometimes it is food, other times housing, and so on. And these triggers are differentiated from the structural issues that generate critical instability in the first place. What spreads kindling around may be unrelated to what strikes the match.
