A game designed to experiment with the effects of monetary systems on our economy and our behaviours. This game is designed to make participants experienced with:
how trade is affected by the availability of money
how exchange system affects individual and collective behaviors
the inevitable result of using debt as money
how outside control of the money supply can drain a local economy
how money is separate from real value
how we can use our intelligence to serve our intentions
By simulating trading in an actual marketplace, the traders feel the difference, which reinforces the learning objectives. The game is designed to need minimum of materials, and it is useful to have a helper to the facilitator and to start by playing the suggested sequence. Please keep notes of metrics here and share them with me to help my research. More info: http://www.valeureux.org/blog/english/tradingfloor/
