"Here, we trade achievements, not failures—values, not needs. We're free of one another, yet we all grow together. Wealth, Dagny? What greater wealth is there than to own your life and to spend it on growing? Every living thing must grow. It can't stand still. It must grow or perish." - Ellis Wyatt

My take is that man is a competitive animal. Pretty much everything ultimately ends up as a "national" competition. Sadly, socialsim slowly but surely kills the competitive spirit until man has the will of an ameoba.
