It's interesting how Ur is a completely made up, fictional play ground for anyone who wishes to partake in this interesting game; and yet, certain forces from the real world are prevalent in the game. For example, the forces of supply and demand are clearly visible in the marketplace. I was wondering if there is a group of people on Glitch that are studying the economic and sociological implications of this "simulated" world. Should the economy of Ur be capitalist, or socialist, or something completely new? Is there a way of measuring poverty or power? Is a wealthy person on Ur as powerful as a wealthy person on Earth? Or is it more to do with connections to other peeps? I would be interested in your thoughts...
