You are, of course, correct. The point is that the superstructure that was
created - the so-called liberal international economic order (Gilpin) - is
conducive to this type of competition with only one caveat, that does not
become anti-systemic.

The hegemony that the United States established in teh post-war years
ensured basic outcomes (regardless of its own position as hegemon).
