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 organizationand what are
youdoing to bring more deep thinking into work and life?
Working paper: Coming Clean and Cleaning UpIs 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 RegimesA
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.
