ECONOMIC THEORY & EVOLUTION of CIVILIZATION

Going through this "THE ECONOMIST" post today some questions pop up in mind.

So far our knowledge is limited with the study of it since Industrial Revolution. Going through the major development of Economic Theory we find its queries are mainly centered with the problems of Advanced Economies.

Is this just a Philosophical question or are there some Economics Explanation to this as well?

With the ongoing economic crisis around the world and mainly with advanced economies like U.S.A. & EUROPE, this is a good time we start thinking about that and not only about SHORT TERM FLUCTUATIONS.
