Who would have the most power?

The person who controled...

All the money in the world?

or

All the oil on the world?

or

All the food in the world?

and would you want to be in that position?

Update:

even if all the cars in the world stopped using petroleum products today, what about the factories that process food? they all use oil. and what good would money do you if you had no food? and what would you sell your oil for if no one had any money? I also wonder how many assassins would be after anyone that controlled any of these? ...maybe it's not such an easy question after all

    All the money.

    And nope - because no one would agree with how I would disperse the resources, and they would all fight because most people think they're more deserving than anyone else.

    we could go without oil. hello? feul effecient cars.

    i have a theory that if we could stop putting values on everything, and money no longer existed, we could all exist in harmony. it's like going to the supermarket. instead of buying an apple for money, you could just...have an apple. the market wouldn't pay the farmers for the fruits, the farmers wouldn't pay for fertilizer and all that stuff. if money was no longer used, it would solve the problem of

    a) having all the money in the world

    b) and having all the food in the world

    food is a basic need. people shouldn't be deprived of it, and this way, they wouldn't.

    and in truth, if none of this stuff ever happened, i wouldn't want to be in any of those positions. too much power can't be good.

    Food is the most important thing to control. As has been suggested, there are those who control it already.

    If I had that position, I would not want anyone to know who I was. Interestingly, we don't know who it is.

    All the food, because you need food to live (one of the 3 necessities of life). And no, because I believe food is meant for everyone.

    The person who shares his, money, oil, and food.

    I am in that position.

    There is not one person who controls, money, oil and food in the world.

    We have to do it all together.
