Paradox Interactive games are great because, when they work as intended, they become a fantastic teaching tool.

![Jason and Roger from the comic Foxtrot are by a computer.
Jason: I set your E-Lynchity brokerage account up so you can trade on margin.
Roger: What's that mean?
Jason: It means you can buy stocks galore with borrowed money, and after the stocks shoot up, you pocket the profits. It's foolproof!

Jason: I'm telling you, Dad, stocks don't go down.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ovy6vog3ue5sr2valijzlaf5/bafkreid7p2pcsweneufxqzvvyunkl7c2onufbi2zlpbqzluydkioqnywfe@jpeg)
