Expanding on my earlier reply:

The "market" in personal behavior works parallel to the market in economics. Information is assimilated and acted upon -- spontaneously -- absent external coercive influence.

Could we return to a more MYOFB society some of what might happen include lessons, some very old:

Practitioners of the old virtues would rediscover, over time, that their habits result in a better life for their progeny.

Asshole bandits might discover that the costs of their behavior generally exceed the benefits.

Examples could reach infinity.
