If you are really interested in the origin of capitalism, Ellen Meiksins Wood, based on historian Robert Brenner's work,makes a pretty compelling argument for an agrarian origin of capitalism, not in the "West" but specifically in Britain. She draws the line between trade on the one hand, that existed and flourished in Holland,Firenze and others parts of the world where capitalism nevertheless did not "happen" and the specific conditions that gave rise to a new mode of production in England well before anywhere else. It's called "the origin of capitalism".
