    >Many people would be made happier if steak would be no more expensive than carrots. // I kinda know what you mean but ... if we structured society to make steak that cheap we'd fritter away resources on something that we don't really need to spend them on, we'd probably destroy a good deal of eco-systems too in the production, deforest to make cattle farms and such. Ultimately we think we'd be happier, but in practice we'd probably not be happier; just have more ecological damage to contend with. We'd probably be saying we just wish we had cheap carrots instead of steak all the time, probably.
