It's because we're bad at distributing resources equally. Don't really care if you don't like the fact I used the word capitalism.
The question is; is it capitalism that causes our inability to properly allocate resources or is it just the fact that humans are bad at allocating resources? What economic system would incentivise the equal distribution of said resources?
