A fair observation. More than fair, really. But for demonstrative purposes, we have cultures like Japan which have deep hierarchal structures imbedded in their cultural zeitgeist. In the other end of the spectrum, most of Western Europe (and specifically Scandinavia) have recently enjoyed far greater civili and economic freedom. I’m defining economic freedom here as wealth equality and purchasing power as opposed to the more common absence of regulations.
