Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: Economy
A socialist economy... So out of the choices given it would be a social market economy.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

I voted Real Communism. But I get to be on the Politburo!

Re: Economy

You work hard and get payed well, and lazy people dont get to bum off the rest of us.
Re: Economy
Social Market Economy.
Re: Economy
Would "ideal capitalism" be the same as unregulated free market? If so the best example of that would be the monopolies known as the trusts.
Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
Re: Economy
Is there an anarchist economic system?
Unregulated just leads to trusts so in the end its not very free for the consumer.

Re: Economy
Yeah, that's why I went for the market economy. I assumed "market economy" meant a regulated free market economy. Don't laugh, while that sounds like somewhat of an oxymoron it isn't. Left to totally free market capitalism the bulk of us would end up as virtual serfs working for monopolies that utterly controlled trade and squashed any competition through any means. End result is dangerous, inferior products and zero competition.
The problem with the unregulated total free market capitalist ideal is that it is unstable, driving itself away from the ideal to something that is completely different.
One could make a similar argument for Communism...since it also eventually destroys competition and individual initiative.
Rome Total War, it's not a game, it's a do-it-yourself project.
Re: Economy
Market Economy....
Moderate, not too free, not too restrictive....

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: Economy
Social Markey Economy but with one very big caveat: only the genuinely weak and needy get help.
Sorry - too many spongers about.
May the wind be ever at your back and the sun ever on your faces. May your sword lie light in your hand and heavy in the memories of your enemies
Re: Economy
I voted ideal Communism, because what could be better than everyone having what they need. Unfortunately, it isn't possible as long as scarcity exists. What someone "needs" is also a very subjective term, so you'd have to be able to create matter out of nothing for everyone to always have what they believe they need, to solve the problem of scarcity.
Realistically, a moderate market economy seems ok.
Re: Economy
Social market economy...
Re: Economy
Market economy with good rules on how the game is played.
Re: Economy
Ideal communism. Everybody gets what he needs and does what he can.
Don, there is no Politbureau in ideal communism. It is government by the people, like democracy, but without the influence of capital.
