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.

Gabital 91: Vertical integration

Vertical integration is a business strategy in which a company brings multiple stages of production or the supply chain - ranging from raw materials to the final product - under its own control. This can include acquiring suppliers (backward integration) or distributors and retailers (forward integration), allowing the company to improve coordination, reduce costs, and increase control over quality and delivery.

90: Auction

An auction is a public sale in which the price of a good or service is determined through competitive bidding. Participants place offers, and the item is awarded to the bidder who proposes the best price - typically the highest bid in standard auctions.

89: General strike

A general strike is the simultaneous stoppage of work by employees across multiple, often unrelated industries and enterprises within a city, region, or an entire country. It is typically used as a large-scale form of collective action to exert economic and political pressure, often in support of broad social or labor demands rather than issues limited to a single workplace or sector.

I really just want them to get a win here, rather than the Boss finding a way to screw them again.
Fingers crossed.

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.
