Explanation:

Capitalism dates as back as the middle age even though the system was only documented in 16th century. Capitalism got greater recognition due to the English cloth industries. The cloth industries prompted governments to invest in increasing production instead of investing in cathedral and pyramids which were deemed unenterprising and unproductive investments.  

Another factor that contributed to capitalism was the mining sector of the Europeans that supplied metals and minerals. This resulted in increase in prices but less increase in wages which benefited the capitalists.
