Human made societies are very complex systems, that is why good analyses on economics or politics must be specific, or risk saying nothing at all. I linked to a geopolitical analysis on the development of the US, and rather than judge it on its merits, you scramble for counter examples all throughout history, against some perceived ideological thesis.
