Kirchgasner, Gebhard <br/><br/>
On the role of heroes in political and economic processes 

 -  2002 
 - p.179-95 
<br/><br/> After discussing various approaches about heroic behaviour in the literature, we first define and classify moral behaviour, in distinction to intrinsically motivated and `prudent' behaviour.  Then, we present some arguments on the function of heroic behaviour in a modern democratic society.  We conclude with some remarks on methodological as well as social problems which arise or may arise if behaviour can not be influenced by extrinsic incentives. - Reproduced.
