What would it look like if it were competition doing that? How would it be different? And how do you know it’s not competition doing it?
In any case, it’s a false dichotomy man. The idea is that competition drives individuals to do those things. People need incentives and that’s one of them.
You can criticise “capitalism” for all sorts of things, and rightly so in many cases I’m sure. But the basic idea that competition can drive innovation surely isn’t total nonsense, is it?
