Unfortunately the blurb describing TYCOON got left out of this post. You'll be able to read it if you click here.

To answer your question, here are the 2 biggest ways in which the game makes a social contribution:
1. Kids who play the game learn basic financial and investment principles, especially the role of credit markets.
2. In-game taxes translate to real world funds disbursed to environmental or social causes. Kids can decide to invest in entrepreneurs with microloans, or they can buy carbon offsets. It's completely up to them.

Thanks for asking!
