I should add that technology driving other areas of progress is not all one way. As Diamond proposed in Guns Germs and Steel, the development of large cities gathered specialists together in larger numbers, which accelerated technology. The large cities were made possible in part by advances in government.
But if it is not all one way, it primarily is. With that quibble, I can accept the idea that technology generally drives progress. Even the Guns, Germs and Steel source puts two of the three foci of the title as technology.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
