The modern desire for wealth is not inherent in human nature, and varies with social values. If, by law, we all had exactly the same income, we should have to find some other way of being superior to our peers, as most of our craving for material possessions would cease. Thus a general increase of wealth gives no competitive advantage to an individual and therefore brings him no competitive happiness. [Identify the most logical conclusion.]



A general inrease of wealth results in increased happiness
The modern desire for wealth derives from the desire to achieve competitive happiness
There is no competitive advantage to an individual in getting a general increase of wealth
A general increase of wealth brings competitive happiness
