@Isry

Seafoam:

This one is a free response

Isry:

Okay so what impact can the government have on a city's economic structure?

Seafoam:

Well they are the ones who govern it...

Isry:

Okay so what can they do in theory to push a specific type of economy?

Seafoam:

Zoning..?

Isry:

Zoning could be one of them, but I'm talking on a more national level.

Seafoam:

Put laws?

Isry:

I'm thinking more in terms of grants and regulation.

Seafoam:

Then I have no idea

Isry:

Think about the power the government can exert on an economy. Let's think in terms of an example. Say the government wanted Ice Cream to become the biggest industry somewhere and currently the biggest industry is Ketchup production. The government can give people that go into the Ice Cream industry tax breaks or make it easier to make it in the Ice Cream industry. So that more people go into the industry.

Seafoam:

Ok so one way government assists with economic exchanges within a city is granting tax breaks to certain industries and so on?

Isry:

Yeah, by using their powers of regulation they can influence the economy or culture of a city.

Seafoam:

Ok I'll put that

Seafoam:

Ok next one
