    Capitalism incentivises rapid progress in all fields.

    I’m not cheering for capitalism, just saying it takes advantage of the inherent greed of people to quickly speed innovation. There would be no industrial revolution without capitalism. At least not on the short scale of just a hundred years or two.

      No, capitalism only incentivises profiting.

      Except in the end you will get innovations of greed.
