The upcoming film Freakonomics explores, among other topics of interest to parents, the surprising link between potty training and economics and how parents, like economists, use incentives to reach ideal outcomes. In this clip, acclaimed economist Steven Levitt explains how his young daughter outsmarted his potty-training scheme. The movie hits theaters on October 1, 2010, and is currently available for iTunes download (http://www.itunes.com/freakonomics) or On Demand (http://www.magsneaks.com/featured.php) through most cable providers before its theatrical release.
