But a study by a couple of business-school professors says splurging now makes you happier later.Even more surprising: not splurging now gives you pangs of regret later.One study in the Harvard Business Review polled college students and alumni on the subject of spring breaks.Regret about not having spent more money or traveling during breaks increased with time, whereas regret about nothaving worked, studied, or saved money during breaks decreased with time.The authors write: “We saw a similar pattern in a study of how businesspeople perceived past choices between workand pleasure. Over time, those who had indulged felt less and less guilty about their choices, whereas those who had beendutiful experienced a growing sense of having missed out on the pleasures of life.”The authors also did a study of mall shoppers, asking about their regret about buying an expensive item of clothing.Those who anticipated short-term regret bought less-expensive items, while those who anticipated long-term regretsplurged.Luxury-goods makers, of course, will eat this up. I can see the slogan now: “Luxury: It’s Good for Life.” Well,whether luxury is good for your finances is another matter.Wealth Report readers, what do you think? Do the long-term benefits of indulgence outweigh the short-term risks ofregret?

Assaulted from all quarters, theMuslim world turned in on itself. Henceforth modernism became alien. Should cultural and religious identity beaffirmed by rejecting this modernism, which the West symbolized? Or, on the contrary, should the road ofmodernization be embarked upon with resolution, thus risking loss of identity?

Even today we can observe a lurching alternationbetween phases of forced westernization and phases of extremist, strongly xenophobic traditionalism.The Arab world—simultaneously fascinated and terrified by these Franj [Franks], whom they encountered asbarbarians, but whom subsequently managed to dominate the earth—cannot bring itself to consider the crusades amere episode in the bygone past. It is often surprising to discover the extent to which the attitude of the Arabs (andof Muslims in general) towards the West is still influenced, even today, by events that supposedly ended someseven centuries ago.

This area had been considered a wasteland: dry brown savanna, without enough water, plant,or animal life to support a town. But today a green spot of a 25,000-acre forest and big aluminum sunflowers begin to dotthe empty savanna.Under the trees are low white buildings and colorful houses, all with solar collectors. Begun in 1971 as a scientificexperiment, Gaviotas is now a self-sufficient town of 200, supported by clean, renewable industries. In the beginning ofrestoring the unproductive savanna to a place where humans can live well, the first problem was finding pure water. TheGaviotans invented a special kind of hand pump to reach deepwater reservoirs. Another goal was to restore the soil andplants. After years, they discovered that Caribbean pines from Honduras could grow in the area’s thin, acidic soil.As more people moved to Gaviotas, it was important to consider a pollution-free way of transportation. Villagemechanics developed a bicycle especially designed for the area’s rough land. Bicycles are now the official mode oftransportation, cheap and pollution-free. Gaviotas is a remarkable accomplishment of sustainable development. This oncedry landscape has been turned into a near paradise.
