For economists of conventional mood, the reminders that the poor still exist are a useful way of allaying uneasiness about the relevance of convetional economic goals. For some people, wants must be synthesized. Hence, the importance of the goods to them is not per se very high. So much may be conceded. But others are far closer to physical need. And hence we must not be cavalier about the urgency of providing them with the most for the least.

There are so many pronouns!!! Thank you able2know forums!

@shangriphysics,
Provded that the writer didn't made any errors, there is a rule of proximity. The rule relates references to the closes related text. Hence for instance "the importance of the goods to them is not per se very high" relates to "some people" not the "economists". That's my understanding of the grammar rules.

Hope that's what you were refering to.
