Vitality, Self-Interest, Profit

What distinguishes organic Vitality from mere Motion is Growth.  Thus, while, Elan Vital qua principle of flux, Will to Live qua principle of maintaining existence, and Will to Power qua principle of discharging strength are not Vitalistic, qua increased mobility, qua multiplying species members, and qua increase of power, correspondingly, are.  Likewise, Self-Interest qua Self-Preservation does not suffice as a Profit-motive.  Thus, any presumption by Smith that it is interchangeable with the latter is groundless, and, perhaps, constitutes a significant flaw in his concept of Capitalism.
