I submit the following proposal (I'll pend in a couple days after a
feedback period):

Title: Simple Economics
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: nichdel
Co-author(s): G.

      Any player MAY pay Agora, any other player, or any organization
      any amount by announcement.

MAY is not a synonym of CAN, and I don't think it even implies it. Thus this would not let players pay successfully.

      Any organization CAN pay Agora, any player, or any other
      organization by announcement by a member of said organization,
      as specified in the charter of said organization.

      The Secretary CAN cause Agora to pay any player or organization by
      announcement if doing so is specified by a rule.

      Any attempt to pay a negative amount is INEFFECTIVE. Any attempt
      by a player or organization to pay that would make eir Balance
      less than 0 is INEFFECTIVE.

INEFFECTIVE is just the negative of CAN, so I think you need to be more specific to imply that the INEFFECTIVEs takes precedence over the CANs.

Enact a new rule (P=1) titled "Payday" which reads:

      If Agora's Balance is not 0 or less, within the first 7 days of
      the month the Secretary SHALL cause Agora to pay each player 10
      plus another 10 for each office e holds.

When is the first condition checked? If it's "any time in the 7 days" or even "when the Secretary pays", the Secretary might be required to act unreasonably fast.

Also missing units.

Enact a new rule (P=1) titled "You can't take it with you" which reads:

      When a player is deregistered, e may specify another player, an
      organization, or Agora and pay all of eir Balance to the
      specified, within 1 day of deregistration. If e does not do so,
      eir Balance is paid to Agora.

When does the default payment happen?

      Any player MAY pay Agora a specified amount to flip a proposal's
      imminence to "pending" by announcement. If the specified amount is
      less than 9/10ths, rounded down, of the Pending List Price the
      attempt to pay is INEFFECTIVE and the proposal's imminence is not
      flipped.

Another MAY that should be CAN, and an INEFFECTIVE that may or may not take precedence once that's fixed.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
