  > The questions remains, as an abstract idea, is it better to give everyone money or give those who need things the things they need? That depends on the level of abstraction; if you get abstract enough to ignore all the real world problems with central planning, sure, the latter seems abstractly better. Giving everyone money isn't an abstract alternative to giving people who need things what they need, it's a solution to get closer to that abstract goal given the concrete implementation problems with centralized need determination approaches.
