That depends on what you mean by "efficiently". To me it doesn't mean equal distribution regardless of investment. It means using them well to increase the general level of Freedom, Education and Technology so that other people have a chance to invest their life's energy in the progress of Mankind. You do this by letting those with the most ability get as far ahead as they can.
I'm all for helping the poor starving masses, but not at the expense of dragging down the vanguard of our growth.
