I think you've hit it on the head. The economy is the stupid part.
If there is food, and there are people, it's stupid that we have hungry people who don't get the food. And all the reasons you listed are a consequence of the "economy" which incentives people to not get the food to the other people.
That isn't to say that an economy is worthless. But when it's failing to the point that people are starving, it's idiotic to follow its incentives.
