"we have enough resources for the population, we just don't know how to distribute them using free market models. "

That strikes me as improbable. Globally, you might be right - there is, for example, enough fresh water on the planet for many more people than are alie today.

But moving a lake from thinly populated Canadian wilderness to Niger or Burkina Faso, where the needy populations are, is not technically possible.

And vice versa, Sahara would be a perfect place to generate solar electricity, but the North European populations that would gladly consume it in the winter are too far away.
