Im curious about what was the overall trend in which not only capitalist production emerged but the superstructure that affirmed the ideals of the capitalist class. Because it doesn’t seem capitalism emerged swiftly in one go the world over but was uneven in both its development and success in revolutions overturning the impediments to capital.
Even with the French revolutions it seemed to have a series of counter revolutions.

This comes to my mind due to the assertion that socialism is bound to fail because if the difficulties and ultimate failures in achieving its ends after a revolution. But it seems implied then that capitalism was wholly successful in a way not comparable to the difficulties of peasant/worker led revolutions.
And I understand that whilst bourgeoisie and capitalist are treated as synonymous and many of the revolutionaries weren't, in fact, capitalists as we understand them today, but they are an important part of preceding its development and expansion.

What perspective can you give on the subject?

Capitalism started in Renaissance Italy. Banks had to devise sophisticated financial instruments to handle the growth in international trade. It was quite risky, back then.

Capitalism jumped to England, driven out by high taxes.

The English were willing to do a lot to accommodate the needs of the fledgling capitalist economy.

Their military did a lot to spur innovation. Recent historical work highlights the importance of government money linking research and business to generate innovation.
