Hunter-gatherers were replaced by agriculturists, who could harness more solar energy and sustain larger populations. Stationary farmers were easier to tax than their predecessors, which enabled the formation of governments.
Governments also have a tendency to grow, but they grow by taxing more or conquering their neighbours, which doesn't necessarily produce additional value. Taxation hinders the productive economy, where growth originates. Cultures and societies that limited their government, upheld the rule of law and free market principles, prevailed in the long term.

The memes of free market and private property thrive because they enable economic evolution. Those who allocate their resources in a way that produces additional value (stuff that others want) will get more resources to allocate. Bad businesses, like unfit memes, go bankrupt and their resources are put to better use.
