It has worked for many other civilized countries.

and now they are not civilized any more

Like who? Yemen? Poland? China? Russia?

Wait, maybe the opposite is true from the beginning, then. Let's take a look at how extreme meritocracies fare. Such as Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. 

Let's look again at countries who started to think the government should supply people with social programs. Like Cuba, Vietnam and Argentina.

Yeah. But maybe it is a coincidence western economies are failing when they start taking some doses of socialism and the third world is prospering doing the exact opposite. Because the 20th century proved nothing did it.
