Help panels now in place. Content to be developed in parallel with the user guide. New executable (.exe file) Benchmark projects will be re-tested as the documentation proceeds
The following benchmark projects now available and tested:
- Simple Reproduction (basic introduction: the simplest possible example of a working economy)
- Starting with lower MELT
- Simple Reproduction with halved period (shows the relation between stocks, flows, and turnover time)
- Simple Reproduction with two consumption goods
- Expanded Reproduction (illustrates accumulation and a number of other features)
- Profit Rate equalization
- Simple Reproduction with two production goods
The next goal is to complete work on the following: 7. Dynamic market adjustment (the original simulation) 9. Expanded Reproduction with changing technology 10.Temporal treatment of Bortkiewicz transformation, showing Bortkiewicz's error.
The data for projects 9 and 10 have not yet been incorporated
Capitalism 9.0 starts where a previous version, capitalism-8.0, left off. The older version is a working prototype that reached a watershed; it contains a lot of development code which is not especially interesting. However, the old version is archived if users want to study the genesis and history of the app.
It contains eight benchmark projects which (in principle) serve the following purposes:
- They comprise a set of tests to make sure the app works.
- They provide worked examples so the user can learn the app.
- They illustrate important principles in economics.
