Publishing my initial model for hypercapitalism

3 skilesare 20 April 2015 01:38PM

I posted a stupid question a couple of weeks ago and got some good feedback.

@ChristianKl suggested that I start building a model of hypercapitalism for people to play with.  I have the first one ready!  It isn't quite to the point where people can start submitting bots to play in the economy, but I think it shows that the idea is worth more thought.

Analysis:

Runnable Code - fork it and mess around with it:

I'd love some more feedback and opinions.
