Just because it's there doesn't mean it is necessary. It may also be a coincidence of history.
Using your parachute example: where we find people surviving the fall we find they wore clothes.
How do you know capitalism is "the parachute" (the necessary factor), and not "wearing clothes" (coincidental factor)?
Or, in other words: correlation (capitalism and positive outcomes coinciding) doesn't imply causation (capitalism causing these outcomes).
