Game-studies scholar Ian Bogost described Nook as central to Animal Crossings effective depiction of the economics of consumption and debt: None of the townsfolk ever appear in Tom Nooks shop... In contrast, the player participates in a full consumer regimen; he pays off debt, buys goods, and sells goods. Tom Nook buys goods, which he converts to wealth. ... While the player spends more, Nook makes more. By condensing all of the environments financial transactions into one flow between the player and Tom Nook, the game proceduralizes the redistribution of wealth in a manner even young children can understand. Tom Nook is a kind of condensation of the corporate bourgeoise.[16] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Nook
