It is a peculiar circuitry: real life -> typology -> made up story -> elements that reflect the real thing.
I am very much fan of Frank Herbert's Dune series. From part 1:
A certain amount of killing has always been an arm of business,” the Baron[Harkonen] said, “but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Someone must be left to work the spice.”
Paul [Atreidis]turned back to look at the Emperor, said: “When they permitted you to mount your father’s throne, it was only on the assurance that you’d keep the spice flowing. You’ve failed them, Majesty. Do you know the consequences?”
The story reveals that this "Spice" can only be found on one planet, Arrakis, and is needed by: the Space Guild for interplanetary travel, and the influencers of the cult, the Bene Gesserit, for insight and future vision and their cult driven political off-spring scheme's, or political and religious intrigue. "The Spice" can be equated with debt-driven money creation out of thin air through the plundering of natural resources. It also became the source of the Empire's downfall.
And this downfall could only happen with [the] freemen.
People have always loved stories.
