Consider an organization that exists to the poor. the members of the organization are discussing alternative methods of aiding the poor, when a proponent of one particular method asserts that: "if only one poor person is with this method, then all our time and money would have been worth it." if you were a member of the organization, what reply best represents clear economic thinking?
