would you recomend me any book about this problem

Wrong question. All civilisations stop developing eventually. The right question is why the West continued to develop science (which is its only real invention apart from the universal franchise). We are the exception, not they. Don't be misled by positivistic historiography that implies we must pass through some predetermined stages.
