Not for me. Even if wages don't go up, productivity does, and that makes things cheaper. I don't think we would be able to produce and consume so much with only half the workforce.

As for the destruction of families, that's going to happen under capitalism anyway. Free markets don't like nepotism and families don't like mobility of labor.

For the people who don't benefit from capitalism, it's a very bad deal to them because they gave up the safety nets of familial bonds in exchange for nothing. It's why conservatives aren't enthusiastic about capitalism and free markets (anymore?).
