Money can't solve global hunger. Money is not a reasource and cannot fill in for the lack of ressources. It could deviate current ressources allocation towards an other goal but there will always be opportunity costs. If you send more ressources for task A, there will be less ressources available for task B. World hunger could be solved by making people better at collecting ressources and be more efficient with them. Money alone dosen't do that.

Global hunger could also be solved by ten people. Literally.
I agree, I like your mind leathermint
Yeah I mean that’s an oversimplification. Plenty of people are having things they collected stolen from them.
Agreed about the scarcity of food being independent from the money supply, but there’s also massive food waste in developed countries and in the US in particular. In that sense, the problem is still allocative and not totally about scarcity. If we really cared about hunger, we’d also make marginal investment into food (forego other scarce resource production).
