Not to mention how current capitalism encourage competition by all means, while it often leads to less than optimal situations. Cooperation also matters a lot, but it is seen as some form of socialism or communism. There is a dominant view that survival of the fittest should prevail in economics, but there is no good philosophical reason for it. That's where politicians leave their power to capitalists and marketers. Even Roosevelt talked about competitive versus cooperation. Both are needed.
