There was also a cool section in that book about a bagel salesman who ran his business by the honor system. Buy a bagel and put a buck in the basket. He kept meticulous records and found that %78 (ball park figure, can't remember exactly) of people are honest. He also said that people were less honest around the holiday's, and that higher income people were less honest than lower wage earners.
