The author did, when she wrote that it is a myth that capitalism did not reduced human toll. Using number of days spent working per year in a pre-industrial society and comparing it with a modern work week is incredibly naive. The increase in human "toll" caused by this increase in work is drastically offset by the benefits that this work produces: all the amenities we take for granted living in a post-industrial society.
