Best is very subjective. And I as an Australian look at this from that view. I do think it would be fair to say this period gave 2 very core human benefits to the masses better than any other period; security and opportunity. Security being access to; income, housing and healthcare. Opportunity being; social mobility and access to education. IMO these 5 points should be the core goals of a functioning society. Outside this much of the rest works itself out. Oh and the other one I thought of while writing, we didn't have any great wars during this time. Not to diminish Vietnam/Korea but the majority didn't experience war like many previous modern era generations had.
