I am not so certain about that - the horrors and injustices of the 18th century are glossed over. If free market capitalism were actually market driven and free, but power concentrates and greed and unenlightened self-interest destroys what we think might be natural and good.
State communism dragged a feudal society from 200-300 years ago forward in 50 years. There are theocracies today which still haven't made it to 1900.
I with you on the mixed concept, but wouldn't underestimate how fragile it is.
