Have you considered extending this basic sim to include notions of search costs/transactions costs/asymmetric information (humans who know others' preferences vs. humans who don't, for example)? Adding intermediaries?

I might play around with this some.

How did you find this old gist, @jisantuc? I have considered, and tried to write, a simulation in this same lines, but considering transactions, capital and production. Until now I couldn't finish the work, because it is really complicated, but someday I will.

What do you got? I wanna see it.
