Listening the text

“Does money buy happiness” – from people who practice what’s called the dismal science. For when economists tackled the question, they started from the observation that when people put something up for sale they try to get as much for it as they can get, and when people buy something they try to pay as little for it as they can. Both sides in the transaction, the economists noticed, are therefore behaving as if they would be happier, they wound up receiving more money or holding on to more money. Hence, more money must be better than less of it is if it brings your greater contentment. The economists’ conclusion: the more money you have, the happier you must be. “Psychologists have spent decades studying the relation between wealth and happiness”, writes Harvard University psychologist Daniel Gilbert in his best-selling “Stumbling on Happiness”, and they have generally concluded that wealth increases human happiness when it lifts people out of abject poverty and into the middle class, but that it does little to increase happiness thereafter. In a typical survey people are asked to rank their sense of well-being or happiness on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 means “not at all satisfied with my life” and 7 means “completely satisfied”. Of the American multimillionaires who responded, the average happiness score was 5.8. Homeless people in Calcutta came in at 2.9. But before you assume that money does buy happiness after all, consider who else rated themselves around 5.8: the Inuit of northern Greenland, who do not exactly lead a life of luxury, and the cattle-herding Masai of Kenya, whose dung huts have no electricity or running water. And proving Gilbert’s point about money buying happiness only when it lifts you out of abject poverty, slum dwellers in Calcutta – one economic rung above the homeless – rate themselves at 4.6.
