Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's Freakonomics
There is a tale, "The Ring of Gyges," that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from
Plato's Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like
Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman's
economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a
corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one
able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful things-seduce the queen, murder the king, and
so on. Glaucon's story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts
could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no.
