In its place it is sometimes proposed to substitute the desire for social esteem, or some other agreeable motive. But if the desire to possess goods is greed, then the desire for social esteem is vanity. As between greed and vanity there is little to choose. Besides, the appeal to the desire for goods does not, in the slightest degree, interfere with the appeal to the desire for social esteem. They are equally self-inter- ested. If we can appeal to both, we have a more powerful combination of m...otives than if we appeal to one alone.
There is thus the same reason for appealing to both forms of self-interest, in order to induce strenuous production, that we f oimd in favor of appealing to both self-interest and altruism.
