The three central problems of any economy are: What to produce, How to produce, and For whom to produce. 'What to produce more' relates to 'what to produce'; 'how much of which resource to be used' relates to 'how to produce'; 'distribution of final produce' relates to 'for whom to produce'. 'How to increase resources' is a problem of growth, not a central allocation problem.
