Greece pioneered a lot of that.
Well, if we take away from Rome the things they stole from Greece, there won't be anything left.
More seriously though, I mean to the scale that they did and enforcing it on such a large area of the world for so long providing the cultural space for those to develop but I agree, you're right to mention that.
Not you, I don't know anything about you, but its funny that ill usually see people being unhappy about the origin of capitalism part but none, not one of those who don't like it want to know the origins of capitalism. People who are anti capitalist are often curious but the boot licking lot aren't remotely interested.
Which, to me, says it all really.
In history, first entrepreneurs were christians.. Christianity if not started capitalism, facilitated its development.
Things like "you gotta marry and have kids", gender inequality, are all principles that go hand in hand in capitalism.
