This is an extensively researched subject [1][2][3].
Side note: consider toning down the vitriol in your comments. If I'm wrong, tell me. Don't call an entire corpus of statistical, sociological and econometric literature pseudoscience.

A counter argument can be found in the book "The end of history and the last man". It puts forward the idea that technology improves at the greatest rate in a free market democracy because the professional classes are at their most effective.
Link to the book:

I disagreed with parts of the book but it stimulated the way I think about such subjects.
