A Preview For ThankYouPatrons Day
🕑 Added 2019-11-20 04:17:52 +0000 UTCHello dear friends,
It has been too long, but I finally have a preview of the next video.
The next several videos in the economics series will build a model economy from scratch, exploring general concepts along the way. This clip shows the basic building block of an economy: a single agent making decisions subject to its production possibilities and utility function.
I still don't know the publish date for the next video. There are a few things left to build, a bit of polishing, and likely several unknown unknowns between now and my first full video produced with Unity. Still, this feels like a milestone. Producing this short clip, I'm already feeling the workflow benefits of Unity over Blender. And, if you're inclined to have a look, the github repo for this project should be quite usable. If you have Unity downloaded, you should be able to just clone/download the project and press play to see a cube gathering resources.
Thank you Patrons, for your generosity and patience.

Good work Justin. I know these projects take ages and always longer than expected. We are all looking forward to it. I’ve been showing your earlier videos to my kids and they are a great way of introducing ideas almost subconsciously. These are excellent and I very much wish you every success!

Looking forward to it. The auction model you made earlier was easily the most intuitive explanation of supply and demand pricing I came across. I recently started reading Dynamic Economic Systems by John M. Blatt. It takes a different approach to economic modelling than what I read in standard economic textbooks, I think it might be very well suited for a simulation approach and the math is kept intentionally simple. It's out of print but there's an kindle version published by Routledge available on Amazon. (It has for some reason a wrong abstract, but it's the correct book when you view it on Kindle)
