    Okay, let me rephrase it: Not enough people enjoy working the middle of an australian desert at 40°C in a lithium mine to cover the global demand of rare earths.

      I think what causes this imbalance is human nature and our insatiable desire for more that is contrasted by the demand for convenience and ease. Not saying that I have a solution but that’s what causes this need for the motivation you speak of, in the form of money/power. And with an entitled human population that is unwilling to let certain demands go, and the willing few who would sell their convenience and time for a profitable venture, which others have deemed a mental illness (a desire for money).
