world economy
Let an agent describe the world economy and its structure with sourced data, explain regional economies and their links, present debates on globalisation and development neutrally, and support economic literacy.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
