    I think it works pretty well in real life too. Nevertheless, I’d be thrilled to see an emergent economic simulation game that was serious enough that you could imagine it reflecting reality. That you could test out real economic politics and see how they work out.

    I don’t think there’s such a thing. And also, economics is hella boring so it could be that an accurate game like this would also necessary be a bit boring.

      Privileged, child, or petite bourgeois aspirations?

            Reading an actual book on economics makes it impossible for a benevolent individual to be a communist, at least without a physically painful amount of cognitive dissonance.

            Do you feel angry or depressed often? It’s cognitive dissonance. ;)

              Oh, you sound really informed on this. What books of marxist economics have you read to come to this conclusion? What theory of subjective value based economics books?

              I mean, I’ve just spent over a decade studying various schools of economics, maybe you have much more insight than me on this topic.
