Why? In other words, why is my need for 20 any LESS valid than anyone
elses need for 1? Usually, the market allows me to satisfy my need. IF I
am willing to pay more for all 20 than those that want one are willing
to, in other words, demonstrating that my need is greater.
Now, note that in this instance, we didn't have an open market, we have
something different, which is a scarce resource allocation problem and
Paul chose to allocate as he saw fit, selling goods below the market
clearing price.
So in that case, why is it wrong for Paul to allocate goods as he sees
fit? They are his goods, after all.
