Americans mythologize competition and credit it with saving us from socialist bread lines. Actually, capitalism and competition are opposites. Capitalism is premised on the accumulation of capital, but under perfect competition, all profits get competed away.

Peter Thiel

Capitalism is based on ruthless exploitation and competition, and leads inevitably to the development of mega monopolies.

Kshama Sawant

One of the biggest lies in capitalism is that companies like competition. They don't. Nobody likes competition.

Li Shufu

We're supposed to live under capitalism, and capitalism is supposed to be competitive so you would expect that capitalists and entrepreneurs would like competition. Well, it turns out that capitalists do everything they can to avoid competition.

David Harvey

The truth is that economic competition is the very opposite of competition in the animal kingdom. It is not a competition in the grabbing off of scarce nature-given supplies, as it is in the animal kingdom. Rather, it is a competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth.

George Reisman

People always say there is competition in nature, but I think that because we are human, it's not only competition. Because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. Competition is really kind of ugly.

Michel Gondry

Jerry Lawler

Lets embrace productive capitalism, not casino capitalism, by restoring transparency and true competition in the commodities markets.

Maria Cantwell

Aung San Suu Kyi

I didn't know about competition or the Olympics until Peggy Fleming won in 1968. My mother looked after all of the competition stuff. I just skated. I didn't really love competition, but that was the only way to get better. You'd see more talent.

Dorothy Hamill

Competition, of course there's always competition, and I like competition.

Delphine Arnault

Our culture says that ruthless competition is the key to success. Jesus says that ruthless compassion is the purpose of our journey.

Brennan Manning

By competition the total amount of supply is increased, and by increase of the supply a competition in the sale ensues, and this enables the consumer to buy at lower rates. Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition.

Henry Clay

The kind of society which we still have is maybe, in some cases, getting worse. Competition is becoming a virtue. Intense competition drives people to go more and more into self-interest. Even to see other folks as competition.
