It is the same thing that allowed someone to decide to grow high priced export crops instead of feeding their neighbours. And the same thing that allows them to trade their crops for money.
The country of Ethiopia is not one collective organization but made up of individuals. The enclosure of resources for individuals allow independent trade and returns, meaning that gains are not distributed across society but held by the individual.
It is the same system everywhere.
Why are schools underfunded? Why are homeless shelters underfunded? Why are food banks underfunded?
Productivity is best held in individual hands. Taxation is the best mechanism to distribute wealth. However the taxes go through political hands and is thus corruptible.
