It's kind of an odd reading of history to pretend like the enlightenment and ensuing industrial revolution didn't lift most of the "developed" world out of poverty. Sure, some countries got there through something adjacent to socialism, and some countries got there through capitalism. But the common thread seems like it has more to do with ending feudalism and advanced manufacturing than pure economic theory.
