Thanks. Do you know if anyone has written about this more extensively?

  Not really. Alfie Kohn does have a book called No Contest, where he mentions in passing how competition is used to control people. But it's not really more than a couple pages out of the whole book. And there is another book called Measurement in Psychology that talks about how what most people think of measurements aren't; but that's not really about social control either. The topic really deserves its own book, but none exists as far as I know.
