On a similar note, the amount of resources wasted on replicating the same research in multiple different places because of trade secrecy (driven by profit), and the amount of resources that artists need to use to create original material when they'd rather re-use something under copyright for the same or better effect, and the artistic abilities of highly talented people needing to be spent on marketing and producing mass-consumption crap (example: I'm sure there were a great many highly intelligent and skilled people working on The Emoji Movie) and the human potential for genuine thought, art and science being squandered by all those who cannot afford the education and finally (but certainly not least) all the enjoyment people are losing out on by feeling compelled by the market to pursue one line of education when they'd much rather another. I think it's important to look at these qualitative issues especially given how the quantitative effects of measures to reduce poverty are almost universally agreed upon to be very impressive.
