.... let's consider Tycho Brahe's discovery of a supernova in 1572, which initiated the scientific revolution; the subsequent Age of Enlightenment which developed and established the humanistic liberal values of freedom and equality; and how these social and intellectual revolutions gave rise to the industrial revolution.

These three ongoing intellectual, social and economic revolutions - the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment's political revolutions, and the industrial revolution - very broadly constitute what is considered capitalism. Far from being any sort of failure, they are humanity's greatest success and have ushered in a continuing era of progress and prosperity that had never before existed and could not even have been imagined in all of previous human history.
