Well, I was mainly speaking in terms of economic competition. There'd still be ways of competing, like in sports or video games and other things like that. However, in terms of people's livelihood, it should not be that way, because there'll always be people that lose out. There's also other things that drive people other than competition. Babies and little kids, for example, are obsessed with learning, and are heavily driven by the desire for knowledge.

So, what is the system that promotes the economic competition? As far as I'm concerned, the economic system aims to increase (global) GNP, that in turn reduces poverty.

It seeks to increase nominal GNP, not the median GNP, or an evenly distributed one. A few people making billions of dollars does not lift others out of poverty.
