📈 Macroeconomic Analysis: Circular Flow of Income (2D)

2D circular-flow-of-income diagram: animated money tokens loop between households, firms, government and banks while government spending, tax rate and the interest rate reshape GDP, inflation and unemployment on a live history chart.

This 2D companion drives the same circular-flow-of-income mechanic as the 3D version through a plain top-down diagram built for reading the economics rather than orbiting a scene: four nodes — Households, Firms, Government, Banks — sit at the corners of a loop, animated tokens travel each leg at a speed set by that leg's money flow, and a strip chart beneath the diagram plots the GDP index over time so a policy change's effect is visible as a trend, not just a number. Move the government-spending, tax-rate or interest-rate slider and watch the token speed, the GDP/inflation/unemployment readouts and the chart all respond together.
