If by Dark Ages, we mean the Middle Ages, then, one can safely say that business did more to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress.

The Middle Ages represented a decline in several areas, especially trade, when compared with classical antiquity (Ancient Greece and Rome).

By the late Middle Ages, several cities, especially in Italy, had began to develop trade networks again, and a merchant class was emerging.

With time, more cities became trade hubs, and this prompted economic development. Businesses grew, science and technological progress increased, and in general terms, civilization advanced more quickly in a few centuries than in the past millenia.
