The word must here introduces a belief rather than an apparently logical conclusion from what went before. The belief expressed is that competition is the essential driving force in society. This is confirmed as the text goes on to say that competition is the only solution. There are no doubt close links between the ideas expressed in this speech and those of evolutionists who believe in the survival of the fittest as a competition in which the strongest and the fittest always wins. Nature belies this one-sided vision over and over again with its delicate balance between competition and collaboration.
Cancer is a very striking example of how unbridled competition with no collaboration works.

Clearly financial calculations would give one answer in terms of breaking even or making a profit. On the contrary. Edward de Bono put this phenomenon quite neatly by talking about the quantity of salt you put on your food.
