    This is already happening in the background.

"The lesson is clear: If you wish to create a new economic institution, put it inside a game. Or how about an app that gamifies share trading? Do you wish to experiment with a new kind of stock exchange or security outside the purview of traditional government regulation? Try the world of gaming, perhaps combined with crypto, and eventually your “game” just might influence events in the real world."

The world of NFTs are going to explode.

Something something ethereum something buy and hold, chainlink something something fraudulent market.

We had something similar back in the 80s. Actually, there were numerous games back in the old Commodore 64/Apple II/early "IBM PC"(pre-Windows) days that, without the interactivity across networks, simulated this. One of the first, was a game called "Hammurabi", written completely in Basic, that "emulated" not only an economy, but the reaction of "peasants"(read: The Unwashed Masses(AKA "The Common John Q. Public")) and factored in not only production, but taxes, benefits OF taxes, etc.

I could probably track down the code for it, but it would be pretty useless as "a game" in the 21st Century. Still, if you'd like to look at it, just to see how it calculated responses(of that era)... I can certainly do that.
