Capitalism, Vitality, Inertia

Capitalism promotes both Self-Initiative and the accumulation of Wealth, and does not distinguish Self-Indulgence from Self-Interest. Now, the exercise of Self-Initiative is an expression of Vitality, whereas Possession, even great Possession, is as much a condition of Inertia as is Self-Indulgence. So, an internal contradiction of Capitalism other than Class Conflict is that it both promotes and undermines Vitality.
