Not sure what your point is. Production of products that solve our hunger problems (i.e., food) are driven by market forces to some extent regardless of economic system. Just because the same forces apply when the state controls the means of production, for example, doesn't make the OP any less accurate.

And exactly which economic systems predate capitalism by milenia?
