There is a very detailed analysis of the economics of the market chain in the link above. The author made a simple error early on in his calculation, but he has said he will correct it soon, so maybe check back later on if interested.

(I haven't gone through it yet though.)
His math is totally wrong because of the "simple error" he made. He calculated +wealth as +money per turn, not +wealth*tax rate.
