Prosperity for who? Not for the colonies.
The greatest feat of the ruthless British empire was the great number of independency holidays around the world.

I'm not that up on the details but a lot of the former British empire like the US, Canada, Australia etc. are doing quite well. I was in Hong Kong in the 1980s and it did much better then under UK government than the mainland. Not sure about places like India. Ireland wasn't that great.
