The resource inequity is only severe a the bottom, when you have not enough to live on.
What does a person need; this is the question. Food, water, shelter, health insurance, utilities: that's it, the basics.
We have no problem distributing resources.
"Markets are inefficient" is a generalisation. Some are, some aren't.
The question for philosophy and economics is, what is fair? "Fair" according to the status quo, is forcing you to work, and importing as many slaves as possible to drive down the arbitrary cost of labor which is set by the employment market which enjoys knowing whatever business model they have, whether it's needed or not, will be able to use coerced labor. Many people acknowledge there has been no development of our society for a very long time and this is the reason.
The low expectations of treating human beings as means to an end, has devalued human life, is destroying democracies everywhere, and helping autocratic industrial powers. Corporations and governments and businesses don't know that UBI is needed for stable societies, and flowering of human potential.
People think corporations, governments, societies and cultures' status quo is some enlightened evolution but it is not. History is a record of societies' status quo consistently standing in the way of human development and progress. The status quo is reactionary, and does not explain a coherent ethical accounting of itself even when confronted with the flaws of its fundamental logic.
The education system doesn't work because a status quo rewards obedience and mediocrity and the set of prerogatives already in place (whatever they are).
As it is we are being dragged into the future by the runaway set of imperatives set by corporations, and the greed and ignorance of millions and we all can see the end game (permanent human slavery) but a status quo has no eyes on the future, and no brain for critical thinking, no sense of adventure or imagination.
