Competition and Division of Labor

The prefix 'com' means 'together'.  Accordingly, most literally, to 'compete' means to 'seek together'.  Thus, 'competition' is, most literally, between collective rivals.  Now, within a competing collective, there can be only cooperation, not competition.  Likewise, according to Smith, the governing internal principle of the productive process is, insofar as it involves a plurality, is Division of Labor, not Competition.  So, if the competitors are Nations, as in an inter-National Free Market, then the governing domestic principle is Division of Labor, not Competition.  And, if the human species happened to be in competition with, say, another terrestrial species, or a race from another planet, then their internal governing principle would be Division of Labor, not Competition.  So, the concept of a Cosmo-Economics, i. e. involving all humans, exposes the contradiction in Capitalism between Competition and Division of Labor, and hence, the inadequacy of that system to that scope.
