Doing it over world wealth/population (454385÷8.2) gives 55,412 USD per capita, which tell how skewed is wealth in the US.
If we could figure out how to distribute food efficiently and how to build housing units efficiently -- in the sense of actually getting that done -- $55k ought to be a perfectly acceptable amount of money for everyone.
We already have that figured out, we can supply food and housing to anywhere in the world.
We don't because capitalism.
That's why I said "in the sense of actually getting that done." We haven't figured out how to coordinate the effort to actually do it.
