Simulating inequality and social order in the classroom: A macroeconomic game

Thomas Kemp and Timothy Wunder

Review of Social Economy, 2007, vol. 65, issue 4, 425-443

Abstract: Actual economic activity often is too large or abstract for students of economics to understand. It has been the experience of the authors that when the economy is explained in terms of an autonomous classroom, students better understand that the economy is about the social process of determining what will be produced, how it will be produced, and for whom it will be produced. In the most basic sense the purpose of the simulation describe herein is to provide the student with personal experience of the market process.
