Spending (money) on Happiness.

How much happy can it make you?

Panchtantra the 2,000-3,000 year old book starts with a preface -  money may not  buy you happiness but  its  absence is sure to bring along unpahhiness.

What is the golden mean of Welfare Economics (as proposed by John Maynard Keynes {after Great Depression; " Focus on the short term. In long term we are all dead"}, Amartya Sen {Education as freedom} and others) and crass capitalism?

Any  comments?

 ==============================  New on the Site  Monetizing IP: The Executive's Challenge http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5925.html
 Many companies fail to develop a strategy around protecting and monetizing their intellectual property. In this Q&A, Harvard Business School professor Josh Lerner discusses current trends in IP including the rise of patent pools.
  
  What Do You Think: Why Don't Managers Think Deeply? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5952.html
 Online forum OPEN for comment until June 26. According to Gerald and Lindsay Zaltman, nearly all research techniques commonly used today probe humans only at their conscious level, though it is the subconscious level that really determines behavior. Jim Heskett asks: What is your organization—and what are you—doing to bring more deep thinking into work and life?
  
  Working paper: Coming Clean and Cleaning Up—Is Voluntary Disclosure a Signal of Effective Self-Policing? http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5947.html
 Download the PDF. HBS professor Michael Toffel and colleague Jodi Short demonstrate some of the benefits and limitations of industry self-policing programs. Many self-regulation programs are operated exclusively by the private sector, often in the hope of garnering goodwill with consumers or staving off more stringent government regulation. Less well known are voluntary self-regulation programs operated by government regulators seeking innovative approaches to further regulatory objectives and to stretch shrinking agency budgets.
  
 Working paper: Accountability and Inequality in Single-Party Regimes—A Comparative Analysis of Vietnam and China http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5948.html
 Download the PDF. While both China and Vietnam have experienced rapid annual growth over the past two decades, income inequality has risen more rapidly in China than in Vietnam during the same period. Structural and socio-cultural determinants fail to account for these divergent paths. Regina Abrami and colleagues focus on differences in political institutions to explain these divergent paths. In so doing, they contribute to a growing body of literature describing variation in authoritarian regimes.
