Yet there is no us, when it comes to society. No matter how well a society is doing, there are still people getting the ass end. Quite a large proportion, growing as it is, after the last crash. That's true for Europe and the USA. The people worrying over elm trees certainly aren't the ones hunting for their next meal or some roof over their heads.
So, in my opinion, the hype over how well a certain society is doing, is misplaced, as long as millions live in abject poverty and their offspring doesn't stand much of a chance to do better.
