Because usually what makes a society work is not really seen. I hate bureaucracy but an iron-clad property system and a lot of check and balance to reduce corruption are needed. And this can take decades to put in place as it requires a change in people's mentality.

What makes society work is very visible - society. The individuals that comprise the society. When they have resources (money, freedom, property ownership, etc) the society will grow. Also, population growth. If there are more people around then there will be more sold and thus produced.
