@ cwg9, I agree with you on this. If PI could solve this problem i t would be halfway through making a workable game economy. Other part of it I posted in other thread and now I'm posting here to collect your oppinions Here it goes:
I had an indea about how to solve Demand=desire problem(one of the main problems). This would have to be made by PI actually but we could suggest it, maybe. There is it: Stockpiles! We currently have National stockpiles mantained by the Gov. What if each state had it's private infinite stockpile where all the surplus goods went? When stocked, they would affect world supply(by adding with other stockpiles) numbers, making supply match or pass demand. That way the price would fall and Pops would be able to buy, turning fantasy demand into actual demand and feeding the economy with much needed money. The price should be a little more elastic, rising and falling more compared to the base price set by file.
Why state stockpiles? Because that way, when the goods are sold, the money goes to the factory or RGO that produced it, and tariffs could still be easilly aplied.
This is just an idea, but since the tools to PI make already exists(national stockpiles could be duplicated and altered. The price already changes with supply/demand, but could change more) , could be doable. If it would solve the problem is another matter... What you think?
