Innovation would come from the West whether we were fully automated luxury gay space communism or 22 y/o young college Republican virgin who just read The Fountainhead for the first time anarcho-libertarianism.

Valuation of educational attainment, work ethic, ambition, social cohesion, civic duty, respect for the rule of law; it all comes from the set of behaviors, beliefs, and cognitions that are passed down through families and communities & amplified and modulated by national zeitgeist and a host of other factors. American ingenuity comes from our unique blend of individualism and Protestant ethic. Plus, you would have to be quite ignorant to even truly consider us capitalist (or Venezuela socialist, lol)-- corporations and oligarchs have always pulled the levers of our government and economy to minimize competition (just as they do in any mixed market system, but that's another discussion). This is also why unchecked immigration and multiculturalism without assimilation are so harmful, as the Dutch, Swedes, French, British, Belgians, Germans, and others have found.

The only true resource any country ever really has is its people.
