anti capitalism jam 2023

          This game was meant to be a simulation of a country ravaged by capitalism, with the goal of improving things using only

methods that have been tested or used in real life.

Basically your country was one of the smaller ones outright controlled by a corporation and a revolt has put you or your

party in charge with the expectation that you will fix things.

Just a note that this is still a thing and its not just small country's.

All of these methods were to have their own descriptions with cited references and a brief breakdown of the results

achieved.

I know edutainment type games have fallen far, but having grown up in the golden age of edutainment

(they used to be high budget affairs back in the 80’s) this was the first thing that sprung to mind.

I personally feel that a lack of education is part of the reason we are sliding back into late stage capitalism.

But there is hope, things used to be a lot worse around the late 1800’s and while capitalism has been tried in several forms

it has always failed.

This is because capitalism requires a constantly expanding source of resources to fuel infinite growth.

However there is not a silver bullet to this problem. However there are many proven things that can improve things a little,

and implementing enough of them would not only create a new economic paradigm but it would

(and has been proven) be far cheaper.

Things like free housing for the homeless, universal healthcare and Universal Basic Income have all been tried and proven to

be cheaper than current methods of dealing with the same problems, they have also been proven to improve productivity.

And then we have things like reducing workweeks witch has always resulted in happier people and improved economic health.
