Social Sciences
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
No mundo moderno, todos os bens civilizatórios estão vinculados à posse do capital. A universalização do acesso ao conhecimento é a forma mais eficiente de democratizar o acesso aos bens civilizatórios, incluinde saúde, moradia, emprego e renda e todos os demais.
The best I could find was "civilizing asset", but this sounds problematic to me.
Thank you for your help!

civilizatory goods
although the term sounds a bit strange, it does exist in EN, take a look at this article and also an older question right here on KudoZ

THE CHALLENGE OF GLOBALIZATION
Awareness that we must assume the civilizatory goods of globalization will lead us to dropping attitudes and discourses that are mere opposition. It is true that the domineering direction of this historical figure is determined by the totalitarianism of the market, which reduces the polyphony of life to the circuit of producing and consuming, which tries to turn everything into tradable goods and accelerate the process so that what we produce becomes increasingly disposable. Denouncing this totalitarianism that exploits, excludes, de-humanizes and reduces everything to a unique dimension, must not make us forget the potentialities of the enterprising individual, which cannot be replaced by the State, the benefits of a truly free and competitive market and the strengthening of many civilizatory goods without which human life is no longer possible. We cannot forget criticism, but we must be aware that only by possessing and acting on what is worthy, can we overcome the overwhelming totalitarianism of the market.

Rafael Mondini Bueno
: "Bens civilizatórios" sounds really weird coming from a text in social sciences, but anyway, I agree that "civilizatory goods" is an adequate translation.

: While "civilizatory" exists in a Google search, it appears only in translations into english. I can not find it in the dictionary or any reliable source.

Quite true. But for sure I did not make this word up :) There are some neologisms that have not yet made it to our preferred dictionaries, specially in this globalized world we live in today....all languages acquire new terms from other language so fast..

civilizing property/civilizing goods
property or goods means all the "rights" that each citizen should have in a democratic society: health, accommodation, education, etc..
