What the heck is Levels Economy?

It's the economic simulator I wish I had in college. We've built something that's both nerdy enough for econ majors and intuitive enough for anyone curious about how economies actually work.

Not Your Boring Econ 101 Graph

We've taken those dusty economic models from textbooks and brought them to life. Ever wondered what the Taylor Rule actually does? Or why economists obsess over "real" vs "nominal" GDP? Now you can see it all play out in real-time.

  • •Play with the Phillips Curve trade-off between inflation and unemployment
  • •Spot stagflation before it happens with our early warning system
  • •Find the optimal policy mix using central banking frameworks

Whether you're studying economics, teaching it, or just curious about why prices go up and jobs go down, this simulator will give you that "aha!" moment when economic theory finally clicks.
