Philosophy alert!

It depends on what you mean by "enough resources to go round". Food, certainly, water yes (if we're reasonably careful), healthcare is a bit tricky, can we all have the same level of medical care available in the best US, German and Saudi Arabian hospitals? We just need to spread it all out a lot more, but as for the resources needed for the Western lifestyle, the last statistic I saw from the BBC* (other organisations are available) was we'd need between 2.5 and 4.4 planets.
