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 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.
I agree.
Capitalism is the most proffesional economic game available.
1 / "plus" - looks even more proffesional
2 - plays better
It's pretty good I must say. Granted, I hate the 3x3 grid present in all firms and the fact that mines tend to run dry after a few months of game time, but otherwise it's pretty decent.
I do not know the better economic game.
I agree this is an amazing series, there's no other game that has come close that I know about. I'm still hoping it'll get another sequel one day that does the series justice.

I have to say I prefer Capitalism Plus just because I like the macro world view and I find the interface much faster and cleaner. I like a lot of the new features in 2, but I don't like the city view or the interface in general.

Same here. Cap Plus just seems to me to be less 'abstract' than Cap II.
Cap+ is the better game and yes i don't know any better economy sim.
The game [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria:_An_Empire_Under_the_Sun ]Victoria [/url]may be the only game with a more complex economic model. But I don't know that it's as well-suited to be a business how-to.
