You're grossly simplifying things. A person may be driven to succeed and generate wealth for their family because they want to be able to send their children to the best schools possible, or they want to be able to access the best medical practitioners and technology if someone they cared about were to get sick. It may have absolutely nothing to do with owning "more than the next person."

but what you've said implies that the desire to own more than the next person does exist!

If there was a limited amount of a certain resource, i would certainly have to own more than the next person in order to acquire that resource.

I'm amazed you didn't see how much you contradicted yourself.
