Economic freedom and democracy is pretty new when you look at human civilation and requires a degree of modernization. There were a few short-lived free society city states before modern times, but they always died out quickly.
Unless you think that we are moving closer to nature in the 21st century....

I would want to think that we've become closer to our true selves in the 21st century. At least here in Western Society. Why? Because we are the most successful here, and we enjoy the most freedom, along with the most benefits ever seen or heard of throughout history.
Sure, our way of life(if you want to call it that)....might not last forever, but I still think its the best way.
