Only for the short term. Once enough people have died, prices will reach a new equilibrium.

And you can't keep everybody alive. Population will grow exponentially until something bounds it. The ultimate bound is the amount of resources we can extract per person.

There's going to have to be competition for resources, and those who lose out will die. We may as well get used to that now.

That "something" doesn't have to be market forces, and it doesn't have to limit growth by killing.

Birth control works just as well (if not better).
