1950s, a economic fluke?

My History professor at school has been saying that the economic prosperity of the 1950's was an anomaly. The middle class will never be what it was and historically there has always been a large gap between the rich and poor. This is simply the norm. We were simply in a unique position after WWII, not being blown to bits like the rest of the world.

What do you all think? With all the foreclosures, "class warfare", and other things going on; do any of you think there is any hope for the future?
Or will history repeat itself and revert back to a historic "norm"?
