The simplest form is what happens in games like Mafia wars. The standard tecnhiques are to introduce sinks everywhere and to inflate prices in an illogical way (e.g. the price of buying n+1 weapons is larger than the price for n). This is a weird form of "personalized inflation" but it seems to stabilize the game.
