questions given below: 6
The concept of competition often proceed with
the idea that competition is universal and natural. In
the contemporary world, however, competition is the
dominant norm and practice. Classical social thinkers
such as Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx have noted
the growth of individualism and competition
respectively in modern societies. Both developments
are intrinsic to the way modern capitalist society
functions. The stress is on greater efficiency and greater
profit maximisation. The underlying assumption of
capitalism are expansion of trade, division of labour,
specialisation and hence rising productivity. And these
processes of self-sustaining growth are fuelled by the
central theme of capitalism : rational individuals in
free competition in the market place, each striving to
maximise profits. The ideology of competition is the
dominant ideology in capitalism. The logic of this
ideology is that the market operates in a manner that
ensures greatest efficiency.
