Western prosperity is consequence of capitalism. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore don't have any natural resources, they copied western economic system and became rich.
The west doesn't have what it takes to build a stand-alone empire in the middle of Ice; Rome was rich because it occupied most of the world.
It's called "natural resources". Without the oil of the Middle East; there will be no strong Dollar. Without a war economy; the western world will fall in minutes.
