What is the relationship between cultural evolution and socio-economic development?

As the experience of modern times has shown, as socio-economic progress progresses, culture becomes secularized and becomes less patriarchal. An example is the Netherlands of the 17th century, where the Flemish school of painting existed in the 17th century, which was advanced for that time. In the 20th century, the accessibility of cultural achievements to the masses is associated with their socio-economic level of development. The culture of the peoples who preserved paganism (Africa, Asia, Latin America) turned out to be quite primitive, without opera and ballet.
