Re: But why?: Capitalist economists seem to like the idea of competition. It is the primary object of their study - if there were no comptition they would have to do some serious retraining.

Robin Hanson seems keener than most. If there's a problem, he will often propose a solution involving getting agents to compete over resources tied into alternative proposals.
