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.  aEconomic systems  aKyklos
