Market Economy is a Mess - Possible fixes

[kukurumei]

You're trying to superimpose the methods for analyzing a highly developed economy on to a bare bones economy. The difference in our opinion is that I try to start at the bare bones, why introduce complications that aren't present?

FF14 is an almost perfect example of Crusoe Economics.

The devil is in the details doesn't exclude the general conclusions of said tools. After all economics for those the know economics is not about laws of nature but about laws of communities/peoples. Economics is at is root social and thus apply anywhere there is people, if not exact fits.

How to gauge a healthy/unhealthy economy is not hard because at this point it isn't "the little things" it's full flow "are you blind" syndrome. I don't need a chart to tell me what's happening, I can eye ball it, how bad things are.

How to fix the economy is also similar. tools do not change, the usage and tuning of them do.

All would help ARR at this point uses creatively or crudely. There is a credit freeze that is the housing collapse. Basically if there is 1billion worth of property, you expect at least a equal amount are "frozen" by the shear fact that people are saving up to buy them. A simple example is if you want to buy a ps4 worth $400 but you make $1 a day no matter what that's $400 that will never reach the market for 400 days. that money effectively does not exist for 400 days because it's frozen. And that's was the inital volley of 2.1. A large large large portion of the gil on the server was frozen, and it's effects are readly seen.

In Macro economics the government does basically 3 things: Jobs/money injection/infrastructure.

SE needs to bascially unfreeze credit, promote the jobs(means of making gil) that was destroyed from the bubble burst, and create infrastructure (in this case the dangle carrots to make people make and spend gil again)

I prefer a super-deflated economy vs a super-inflated RMT economy.

That's social economics, the act of using economics to promote a healthy society. They don't always see eye to eye with macro economics. There are a lot of things SE can do to work the fine line.
