MASTER-POST WITH ALL THE COMIC
DISCLAIMER ALERT:
This page is an official Gabital English translation project, requested and commissioned by the original author: https://boosty.to/art.duende.
All tips and donations to our boosty are processed and shared with the author.
By supporting this page, you're supporting both the author and our translation team(aka "that guy translating and posting the funny comic")
Now, with that out of the way, I'd like to personally welcome you.
Hi there!
Gabital is a fantasy webcomic... which may or may not be (somewhat) educational in terms of economics. It's about capitalism woes in one particular settlement... We'd be glad to have you join our charming protagonist Gabi as she tries to navigate the realities of fantasy capitalism and its troubles and - hopefully - try to solve them... up to a point.
Feel free to look around! Or - my advice - head over to the Master-post for a nice starting point!
At the moment, we are only uploading here and to reddit - you can also read earlier strips of the comic on imgur - but we can not continue uploading there as we got banned for posting from Russia. Same thing with our original Reddit account - automatically flagged and banned without any chance of appeal(hence no first pages on reddit), as well as Twitter.
If you're messaging us via DM(or tipping a post, for example) - please note that by default Boosty limits the ability to respond to accounts under Settings - Privacy. Which means that even if we want to thank you for your commentary or respond to a query - we can't do so until that setting is changed in your profile.

88: Trade Union

A trade union (or labor union) is a voluntary association of workers formed to represent and protect their social and labor rights and interests. Unions advocate for better wages, working conditions, job security, and benefits, and often engage in collective bargaining with employers on behalf of their members.

87: Vertical restraints

Vertical restraints are agreements between firms operating at different stages of the same production or supply chains(manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, for example). They commonly take the form of obligations or restrictions - like fixed or minimum resale price set by manufacturer, supply exclusivity agreements, territorial restrictions on sales etc.

It’s gonna be a disaster if something breaks here. Like prices become too much that they just stop buying or they try to gather their own resources.

86: Agio

Agio (from Italian aggio) is - simply put - an exchange rate... with a twist.

Historically, agio referred to a premium paid above nominal value when exchanging depreciated paper money for full-value metallic coins (such as gold or silver) of the same denomination. It reflected the difference in real value between weaker and stronger forms of currency and was especially common during periods of monetary instability or inflation.

85: Payment in kind

Payment in kind (or, in this context, salary in kind) is a form of wage compensation where workers receive goods, services, or other property instead of money. This method has historically been used in agriculture, household service, and early industrial settings, where employers might provide food, housing, clothing, or other necessities as part of a worker’s compensation. In the broader sense, payment in kind also refers to other business repayments or compensations (interest, debt etc.) using things other than cash: goods, services, or even further securities like additional debt.

83: Food artel

A food artel (pronounced artěl) is a voluntary association of individuals who unite to carry out joint economic activity related to the production, processing, or distribution of food products. Members typically contribute their labor and share responsibility and profits from the collective work.
It is useful to distinguish this from a cooperative. A cooperative is an association of members who pool resources for purchasing, production, or services. An artel, by contrast, traditionally refers to a group of people who personally work together in a shared enterprise and share the results of their labor. Because English has no exact equivalent for this historical form, the Russian term artel is often kept in translation or loosely described as a labor cooperative. For example, a consumer cooperative might buy food in bulk for its members, while a food artel could run its own bakery staffed by the members themselves.

You know, there’s a lot of food trucks around where I live these days. Usually they’re small local businesses. Some operate entirely from the food trucks, while others have an actual restaurant as well and the food truck is just a means of getting involved with community events, or in support of causes the owners have some measure of passion for.
I wonder if the orc here could do something like that; send out a cupcake cart to some of the out of town labor like the lumberjack Minotaurs. Could be helpful towards bringing them into the goblin labor union.

82: Tender

A tender is a method of purchasing goods or services based on open competition. In this process, organizations invite suppliers to submit bids, and the contract is awarded according to predefined criteria such as price, quality, and reliability. Tenders are commonly used in public procurement to ensure transparency and fair competition - at least in theory.

Hang on, won't it be obvious these are Gabi's wheels?
Mar 02 12:53
Of course, but it's legal to purchase and resell them. Gabi could screw him over by not taking the deal there . . . but Chief would find a way to get revenge.

81: Production balance

A production balance is a system of indicators that reflects how material resources, equipment capacity, and working time are used to produce goods over a specific period. It helps analyze the flow of inputs and outputs in the production process, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and that planned output targets can be met.

I feel like the numbers don't add up. Is he supposed to outsource the entire order here? This smells like a typo.

Henrik Andersson, #81 or #82? This one is more about simple algebraic optimizations.

Grr. I’m trying to remember my old algebra classes from high school to understand the math. That was 15 years ago! XD

Ron F (Firnron003), Mr. Translator here was in the same boat when doing the page! Luckily, Mr. Author had decided not to jump into the deep end here, but still xD

80: Modernization

Modernization is the process of updating and improving an object, system, or process in order to increase its efficiency, meet current standards, or eliminate obsolescence. It often involves adopting new technologies, methods, or designs while preserving core functionality.
