this is not true. Europe and US including Russia had exponential growth during the 18-19century. This all was killed by the FED and the layers, through the revolutions and the marxist-communists, who are now called green party or alike, but it is a different story. Your statement is not true. There have been periods in history where people complained and periods when society was stable. We are in the part of the cycle, but we have to do something ourself to come out of the cycle. regards
