Isn't this essentially a red herring?

Yes, it is a true fact, but it's ignoring 200 years of history, much of with has nothing to do with the economic model.

Plus most arguments are made in regards to more recent changes in lifestyle, where the same amount of wealth isn't providing the same amount of reward.

Hell 200 years ago is also ignoring The Great Depression, which was certainly not a good time for capitalism (or well, anyone)
