Competition, Cooperation, and Conformity

The opposite of competition is not cooperation (which is a complement of competition) but conformity.

Isn't this a bit of a generalization though? There are quite a few cultures that are heavily conformist, and yet have highly competitive economies. The Medieval Arab World, for example, had a market economy that was very open, and yet the Arab family was still a deeply authoritarian institution.
