Civilization is rooted in intellectual, cultural and moral achievment; material conditions are secondary consequences not primary idicia. I do not see these root qualities flourishing in new places as they did in the past cases you list; on the contrary I see them dieing out. It seems more likely to me that we are on the threshold of a world-wide dark age.
