> progressed due iterating on what has existed is how we progress

Progress was extremely slow until the 1800s. Coincidentally corporation and modern capitalism in general developed around the same time. Of course I’m not necessarily saying it was the main or direct course since it isn’t exactly possible to create an experiment comparing it to other systems (of course that was tried an failed completely in the USSR, Maoist China and similar places)

Progress was slow until industrial farming was developed and more people could be freed from just trying to grow enough food to feed themselves.

Capitalism was side effect as well.
