Why are communal families considered to be a threat to a capitalist economy?
What will be an ideal response?
Communal families are based on the belief in common ownership of at least some material goods. In such families, fewer consumer goods would be needed because they would be shared, and thus the market for these goods would be smaller, which would hurt the interests of capitalists. This threatens the basic value of private property on which a capitalist economy rests.
