I love the series of animations commissioned by the RSA for some of their high profile meetings. In this one Levitt and Dubner from SuperFreakonomics fame explain the different variations of the Ultimatum Game and some of the lessons that might be drawn in terms of incentives to behave in either a self-interested way or in a more altruistic spirit.
