I'm not familiar with video games or computer games, but I do read books...
If anyone's read "Debt of Honor" by Tom Clancy, you might draw some parallels between the currency manipulation from the novel, and the current economic distress. (Not implying intentional disruption, but certainly the overall understanding of macro economics applies.)

Tom Clancy is a genius. I think Red Storm Rising also had similarities.

By the way who would be Jack Ryan today?

CIA spook Ryan? Not aware we have any such leader in that group, but could be. The last few CIA directors sure don't qualify.

Maybe Newt Gingrich - he is a professor, and certainly has the guts and smarts.

I think today, we're sadly missing that sort of character in our government.

I might have voted for W. prior to his re-election, or even Rummy, as playing the role or character of Jack Ryan.
