> No, prosperity is "financial success" and that's related to the people around you and to some basic standard

If that's the case, then prosperity is purely relative term (as I suspect the "basic standard" will be redefined every decade or so) and hence can never improve. To me, what you're describing sounds more like inequality than prosperity.
