They do talk about how England fits into this narrative, though I don't remember if explicitly in those terms I'd need to re-listen.

In the article the guy complains about it.

Another possibility is suggested by the inclusion of the two episodes on England, which end the miniseries’ historical narrative. Since the Thirty Years’ War is not conventionally seen as midwifing the birth of capitalism, perhaps the hosts were attempting to rescue their promise of explaining capitalism’s origins by shoehorning in the history of a country where it is widely supposed to have first appeared.
