[Star Trek] Did Earth become post-scarcity due to Vulcan involvement or due to Warp drive technology development?

I know Zefram Cochrane successfully attained Warp and then immediately met the Vulcans, but did they bolster our studies or did we develop the rest on our own under their guidance?

Judging by the events of enterprise and the latest film it would appear that the post scarcity developments came after meeting the vulcans and we're developed in joint effort. The Vulcans did appear to be more developed but not to a large degree that they could create nearly any needed resource or material with ease.  It appears that around the formation of the federation or possibly a short time prior advances in technology created the possibilities for post scarcity.
