Village is SimCity for the Third World
|

The knowledge modelled inside Village the Game has come from many sources over several years. Here I'm hilighting the websites, documentaries, people, and books that have shaped the content of Village the Game.

www.WorldChanging.com is the awesomest website for keeping up on sustainable development, green technology and the already existing innovations for making the world a better place.
www.NextBillion.net focuses on documenting social enterprises across the world, companies that are working on eradicating poverty through free-market business practices.
"The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits" by CK Prahalad is an awesome book filled with case studies of companies like Voxiva who have come up with a great model for controlling epidemics where medical staff are few and far between.
"The New Heroes" documentary funded by the Skoll Foundation tells the story of 14 social entrepreneurs across the globe from Fabio Rosa renting solar cells in Brazil to Muhammed Yunus pioneering microcredit. Many of their stories are incorporated into the story of Village.
