In “The Collapse of Complex Societies,” Joseph Tainter writes:
“When there is growth in complexity, it tends to be exponential, always increasing by some fraction of an already inflated size. Complex societies, by their very nature, tend to experience cumulative organizational problems. As systems develop more parts and more complex interactions among these parts, the potential for problems, conflicts, and incongruities develops disproportionately.”
