I have always thought that one of the most drawing features of Eve has always been its "free" economy. I would very much like to know what the economics adviser to ccp thinks of the current world (Earth) economic situation. We battle all the same issues in Eve as far as I know, albeit on a smaller scale, and have managed to keep prices fairly stable. Anyway, I'd like to hear what ppl think about this. People in my corp are blocking me left and right for bringing this topic up, so I thought I may get a friendlier response here. |

Whoa, I didn't expect any response to this. Gonna take me a minute to answer all this. Yeah I guess that eve isn't really comparative to the real world economically. But I have always thought that eve uses "interesting ways to manage inflation. Like starter corp tax and skill book cost.
Ok, so you've won me over on the argument that there is no real correlation between eve and real life economics. But that was my only "in". I can't very well post in an eve forum without some tie to eve. Can I? I respect the eve community over most for having what few ppl have these days; dedication and intelligence. I've neglected the forum aspect of eve for years now and I just thought I'd give it a try. Seems a rather lively bunch for a forum.
Very funny Maia. What was going through their heads? Any time I think a person is stupid for making a given choice I try to always think of an overt way that seemingly stupid decision may have benefit them. Not sure how bankrupting the entire world helps anyone but maybe you guys do.

Wouldn't the rich be against inflation even more than the average person? I mean it effects them to a greater degree than it effects me, but all the evidence suggests that they actually promote what the FED does to artificially stabilize the economy.
If I were going to correlate the real world to eve I'd start by matching the US FED with CCP, but in eve ofc you must have an artificial mechanic for keeping markets stable, or at least it is the easiest most sure fire method. |

Sorry about the reply chain here, but I'm playing catch up.
Can you really blame the mega rich or the gov officials for taking advantage of the system to make themselves even more rich? Ofc it is not moral or w/e, but be honest you see a chance to steal a million dollars and get away scott free, you don't take it? Most ppl would bend their morality in extreme cases such as these and I'm sure the gov never expected all the laws that layed the path to this nonsensical world we live in today to actually be passed. But they were, and here we are.
I am an American and though I know that America is not the center of the world, I think in this instance it kinda is. I fully believe that America is 100% responsible for the state of the world economy being in the **** state it is, and I'm astounded that the other countries would allow it. I don't have a job ofc, so I spend countless hours watching online news, and I must be missing something, because there is no way on earth that my view of this madness can be correct. I'm far from a nice guy myself, but fuckin billions of ppl out of their future seems wrong to me. Color me an unpatriotic American I guess. |

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment that there is no correlation. I find that a heuristic approach to life and learning suits my unique personality best. It is startling how often seemingly totally unconnected subjects share analogous parts.
I think the low to medium class person is precisely the type person these topics should be discussed with. After all they are the not only the bedrock of our current "civilized" world, but the foundation and the supports. As to whether eve is the right forum to voice these thought... probably not. But if ppl respond, why not. I'm new to this forum. If I'm breaking some rule(s), I'll of course refrain from posting this type of discussion in the future.
Like I said I value the Eve communities thoughts on things. What the median Eve player lacks in finance they more than make up for in intellect. |
