Animations of agents subject to a budget contraint

Since Noah Smith wants to see slides, I'm going to try and put some together (in part for my talk in June). Here's an animation of when an information equilibrium description of economics would apply for agents that have a choice of two goods with the same price and a budget constraint:

  2. Neat animations. :)

Also, try to avoid the use of dollar signs as they interfere with my setup of mathjax. I left it set up that way because I think this is funny for an economics blog. You can use € or £ instead.
