Equity is A. always achieved by the market. B. when poorer​ people's income is growing more rapidly than more wealthy​ people's income. C. the fair distribution of economic benefits. D. an exactly equal distribution of income.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. the fair distribution of economic benefits

Explanation:

In economics, there is equity in resource distribution if resources are distributed in such a way as to ensure fairness and justice.

In a command economy, in order to ensure justice and fairness, the government is charged with the responsibility of redistributing economic resources. While in a capitalist economy, the price system does the work of income redistribution.

The question of equitable resource distribution can be achieved through pareto  optimal allocation of resources, Vilfredo Pareto  in his book “Manual of Political Economy”, 1906. A Pareto-optimal allocation of resources is achieved when it got to a point where it is impossible to make anyone better off without making someone else worse off.
