Very true.
The only question is whether 50/60 years is a good sample.
The history of modern man is more like 4/5000 years and perhaps that is a better sample.
In that time many civilisation have developed and vanished.
Why?, and should it be any different now?
All were not just powerful in a military sense but commerce was the sustaining fuel.
Where did they go wrong and have we learnt anything from them.
I believe the answer is we haven't learnt from them, and we are so arrogant that we consign them to a category of primitive societies when in fact they were very sophisicated.
Their scientific advances were remarkable, their financial arrangements and monetary systems complex, their alliances and politics as intricate as today.
Who cares and who takes note? No one that matters it seems.
