You reminded me of this consulting firm ad that is on the side of one of the highways here, it reads
BETTER STRATEGY.
BETTER NERDS.
I'm not offended by it or anything but it sounds so off or something, makes me cringe every time.
I am thinking a lot lately about what people are complaining about: one does not learn the business and economical essentials to deal with the later adulescent problems like taxes, entrepreneurship and finances. We are complaining a lot but what could we actively change? What could we offer to benefit the wealth of our fellow humans? (Except of MJ's books of course ).
I like to relate here to the book the richest man in Babylon in which the king hired the richest man to teach the folk how to handle finance. I wonder how a present equivalent would look like. Any suggestions how to deal with this topic?

Economic simulators are really good at showing that things snowball. At first you barely have any income and have to be on top of all your costs. But once you get going you buy bigger and bigger things more quickly that produce more and more money. What took a year to buy in the game at first you then buy in a week later on!
Rise of Industry has some concept of demand which is fun. So you can make a great product, but if no one in the area is demanding it you're gonna go bankrupt.
You also have to deal with transportation and can set up entire logistics systems to move products around the resources and goods around the map to different markets and factories. Basically you get to deal with and manage flow rates.
Tropico adds another layer of managing sentiments of your people. Basically just reduces down to different groups have different values so you have to do things to make them happy and not revolt/protest. Also makes for a fun test of a socialist system vs a capitalist system. Both can work, but jfc the socialist system is way more difficult to manage and while it's easier to get rid of poverty, people are not rewarded much for being more educated either.
idk if you ever played Kiyosaki's game called Cashflow or one of the knockoffs of it. I'd be interested in making a better version of that, but there you at least get the concept of buying assets to produce you income so you don't have to work.
I wonder if that is still true.
Entrepreneurs and businessmen get pretty good media coverage these days thanks to Silicon Valley and the rise if the internet business. Elon Musk, Jack Ma...
Business is seen as cool these days. But there is a perception bias though. “Cool business” are usually related to IT and internet or to a less extent tech. It is much bigger than that. But every time when someone says they want to do a business it is usually that.
I have had similar ideas.Remember that game drug wars? Amazing game and so so simple and so so addictive. Weed prices have crashed! buy buy buy! Sell sell sell!
I would love love love a game where you start with €5000 and become a billionaire through buying/selling products, investments, playing the international tax game (with Up To Date International Rules and Regulations, and where you get banned from the game for weeks when busted for tax evasion Multiplayer would be also awesome!
Please someone make it!!!

They exist. They're not very exciting. It just becomes more of the same. Need some sort of story line and drama. Otherwise you feel like a robot.
That said, maybe you'd like Rise of Industry? It was fun for about 4 hours. I really enjoyed Tropico 4 earlier this year. Economy + Dictatorship = Fun
I wonder if that is still true.We're talking centuries of indoctrination since at least the industrial revolution, and a school system based on that too. You're told businessmen are bad, greedy and fat. Look at all these college students preaching socialism...
