Minsky Alternatives

Minsky is described as 'Enables the simulation of models (particularly from economics) defined in terms of coupled ordinary differential equations. The models are defined using a drawing canvas (rather like VisSim), and a double entry bookkeeping system known as a Godley table' and is an app. There are seven alternatives to Minsky for Windows, Linux, Mac and Web-based. The best Minsky alternative is Xcos, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Minsky are Simulink, Caedium, Insight Maker and EMSO simulator.
