      Agreed, entirely.
      
      You may have the most advanced simulation of the real world ever, and
      economic turmoil may be a part of your game experience, but even real
      economies aren't closed. We need the Alan Greenspans of the world to
      tweak the valves and tune the numbers on occasion. Otherwise, you end up
      with a nice old Russian babooshka somewhere, gathering a garbage bag full
      of rubles so that she can buy a loaf of bread. She's going to quit your
      game, and then you'll be the one losing money. Embrace your inner
      Greenspan. Or, if you're feeling especially patriarchal, you can pretend
      to be the World Bank. Either way, somebody's got to mind the mint.
