"Prosperity has brought complications. Our lives are busier, faster, more stressful. They're nostalgic for a simpler, slower time."--Matt Ridley

Don't blame prosperity, Matt!  
Life, not prosperity, brings "complications".  
When people talk about the good old days, I bet they're actually referring to the time when they were children and had no responsibility for organizing their own lives.
Life was "simpler and slower" when our parents had to worry about putting food in our mouths and clothes on our backs. Now the buck stops with us, and our lives are naturally busier, faster, and more stressful as a result.  
Heck, prosperity might be a welcome relief to most of us!
