There's some very engaging writing in the articles and it's hard to cherry-pick, but one particular passage stand out more than others:
"‘the basic economic problem’ causes 34,000 people to die every day because of poverty, and forces around 3.4 billion people (half of all people on earth) to survive on less than $2 per day. How anyone can be aware of these statistics and still refuse to seek alternatives is nothing short of a disgusting and unsane [sic] disregard for human life."
The 'basic economic problem' is the theory that resources are limited (true) whilst human need/want is infinite (premise questioned by the article).
