[FEATURE] A work-around for the money vanishing into thin air/goods duplication vanilla bug? #80

Throughout 2019 a better understanding of Victoria 2's economic system came to light through extensive experiments due to various people. In particular, it is now known that sphering in vanilla results in a major bug where money disappears into thin air and goods become duplicated. Descriptions of this effect can be found here and here.

Do you think that it could be possible to somehow create a work-around for this bug, short of completely disabling sphering (as people suggest as a drastic measure: 1, 2)?

Generally is countered by injecting money out of thin air via canal and Laszie Faire import cost modifier.

It's a consequence of the game economy not being a closed system. Hell even high level naval bases require cash (removed from economy) even if your stockpiles have all supply.

Beat solution is to increase cash generation from precious good and meta with late game tech, and somehow prevent AIs from having like more than 5 mil in bank at any time.
