Fundamentally incorrect.
Traditional societies lead to wealth and power for a particular segment of society, a more pronounced class system that results in the lower classes being the antithesis to the ruling class, followed by revolution, then the creation of a new class system in its ashes - in which the ruling class is overthrown and the once revolutionary ruled class becomes the new reactionary ruling class.
