> There simply isn't enough wealth in the world to create a good life for the whole worlds population.

That is far from obvious to me. I have no idea if it's true or not.

But analagously, many people are surprised to learn that most countries experiencing 'famine', historically, have been _exporting_ food, and that there is, unquestionably, currently enough food produced on the planet to feed everyone adequately and enjoyably. And yet people starve.

It's not obvious to me that there isn't enough wealth in the world to create a good life for everyone, too. Now, today.
