It's interesting for me to see this (currently living in Poland) because I noticed just the other day that in 5 months I have NEVER seen a piece of change on the ground. In fact, once I dropped a coin in the market and an old man picked it up when he thought I wasn't watching. Infinite incentive in a bad economy...?
I learned English from “fet system”
I learned Economics from “dmateer”
I learned Math from “your teacher”

Clearly, the "incentive" demonstrated was to get people to volunteer in his demonstrations. Matt made $6.25 for 5 minutes of his time.

An interesting way to explain one of the most obvious concept in economics-- "Incentive"..

The whole reinactment shenanigan wasn't really necessary, but at least it captured the audience's attention.
Good prof.
