Economic problems

Right now my empire is very young and innocent. I am holding myself back from attacking other empires and trying to gain more wealth and land from battles and putting my efforts into increasing the productivity of my own empire. Economic problems that have arose deal with transportation, location of crops and pastures, and lack of industrial movement in the empire. My empire is lacking any kind of industry. Becasue there are no large towns or cities up yet it make it difficult to provide any type of economical structure other then agriculture. The lack of industry is making the empire struggle in many different ways. The economy is struggling becasue of the lack of workers, the need for a larger industry in different textiles, and the government support. Heilbroner lectures to us in his book that there are three solutions to the economic problem. One is the traditional way , whcih is the oldest and is not used very often any more. It is known as the trial and error method. This could work by starting up a small textile industry, perhaps something that woudl benefit the agricultural community. Steel could be a good source for the horses and to make different tools. Becasue my empire is in the very early ages it gives way for them to start peaking at a tradiaitonal society. The second one the Heilbroner talks about is Command. Command is where there is one higher authority that makes the disicions for the group. This is also a method that my mangolian empire holds. The head of the empire which is many ways is me that contorl of all financial beings. I deal with workers and education and agriculture and industry. There is no other input thent he computers suggestions and I do nto have to take them what so ever. The thrid theory is the market theory. What the US has today is called a market theory and it preaches that jobs are filled because it is to people's advantage to do so. If they fill the jobs it will e better for the community. The econbomy is run by everyone and their personnel actions. The main solutino that the Mangolian empire is using right now is the Command theory. The computer game will not allow the economy to turn into a market system becasue there is no way that the people will have enough influence on me (the commander) to change anything.
