I haven't read all of it yet, but it looks worthwhile to me.  Econ profs
love that kind of thing!  It might be wise to try to simplify it some.

Who are you aiming for here?  Looks like college level to me.

In my econ class we did a corporation simulator, where we decided on
moves to take.  It involved working with other players.  Unfortunately I
don't remember many details, but it was fun.

Anyway, a nice suite of Web based apps would be nice.  We could have
this and the stock portfolio simulator.
