No, I actually have a degree in history. Not all was well following World War II. There were two general recessions in the 1950s, in '53 and '58. The 1960s was torn by the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. In the 1970s, manufacurers began to send operations oversees en masse. The mid to late 1980s and early 1990s were okay, due to financial prosperity and the fall of the Soviet Union. The Clinton years were good financially, but we failed to address Islamic Radicalism in time. Thus, I would say that the U.S. had its' real zenith about 50 years ago (1960), ever since then it's been a (mostly down-hill) roller-coaster.
