But we can ignore the need to increase productivity enough (which is hard) in order to achieve better standards for all if we just take from those at the tippy top who hoard wealth that could be used to help those in need. We have enough resources/wealth and productivity now to help the rest but we don’t. The issue is that despite the continuous increase in wealth and productivity, the distribution is inequal enough to make sure that the worst never reach the conditions that they deserve as human beings. We can solve the problem with resources that exist now and the unequal distribution is getting worse, we shouldn’t keep kicking the can down the road and not focusing on inequality.
