The market system is a competition, so by definition everyone is (at least potentially) trying to stop you from achieving wealth. Just ask anyone who started a business, for example. Saying that the only obstacle is in the individual is, at a minimum, disingenuous.

And that's assuming a hypothetical perfect market. The real world has monopolies, rent-seeking and other obstacles that make it harder for new contenders to enter a market.
