On the study of this bird the Norwegian human behavioral scientist Terje Bongard has sketched out a model for a new degrowth society utilizing these strong powers of the bright side of the handicap principle. He calls it an in-group democracy.

His book, The Biological Human Being, is soon to be launched both in English and German language.

The problem with most economists and social scientists states Terje Bongard, is that they have no understanding about how the human brain is wired. The handicap principle goes to the core of evolution and is the basis for our actions.
