    hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

    I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

      there’s no “but” – this is exactly the point the author is making.

      But the machine needs those orphans to keep going! Why would we want to deprive the system of what it needs? Won’t anybody think of the shareholders!?!
