Human beings can live happily only in a society where love and friendship are the primary motives for actions.

LH ==> LFPM
not LFPM ==> not LH

LFPM, however, is not necessary to economic needs (i.e. "economic needs can be satisfied in the absence of this condition").

Therefore, human beings can satisfy their economic needs without obtaining happiness.
