The same thing we do every night... Try to take over the world!

That's more or less the goal here. World (market) domination and in doing so, the humiliation of between 1 to 8 AI (or human) opponents. It does get slightly more complicated than that, but there in lies the appeal.
The tutorial helps to get ones feet wet where as the fully customisable open game allows you to jump in to a game for you to test your metal (or leather, or one of read more the hundred or so other commodities). Choosing between farming, mining, manufacturing and retailing (or any combination of the above if you want to take over the whole production chain) gives a wide scope for every game without ever getting bogged down by micro-management.

Best economic game ever ?

Capitalism 2 is an amazing, economic game, which offers very high complexity, not available in current (targeted to "average Joe") games. I would say that it's perfect for students interested in economical aspects of running a company. Branding, marketing, competing with local sellers, selling imported products or create products just from subproducts - really read more tons of options and huge fun for those who need a little bit more complexity than current "economical" games offer.
Shame that Capitalism 3 has never appeared.

Not straight forward.

I have to confess I've never played this type of game before and was keen to try one. The tutorial was a good introduction to how the game worked. (Although I failed a few of them, because I was reading the tutorial text and the game speed was set too fast.) There are a few bugs that you will notice as you play the game.
Overall though there are some pretty strange constants in read more this game. For example the necessities index. This value tells you how likely people are going to buy this item. But weirdly shampoo is rated more of a necessity than bread, milk or many other foods and beverages. Some luxury or electronics goods have a high necessity index as well. Combine that with the fact that what people will actually buy varies from game to game, as well as, city to city.
So playing one custom game will be different to another. I would understand if this related to expensive luxury items and the average incomes of the population. But doing something successfully in one game doesn't mean it will work in another. Basically you have to gamble on what people will buy and deliver that product to the mraket. If it doesn't sell, game over.
