I have a game wishlisted on Steam called Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic that I’m hoping might prove educational to better understand how that system worked because sometimes it seems so foreign to me.

Market economies are very psychological - "How do you encourage people to consume/produce X?" But command economies are simpler in a sense, because it's all very material - "What do we make, and who do we give it to?"

Excellent game, btw
