  ABSTRACT: In the paper, we explore the rationing as a way to implement a variety of incentives for people’s activity. We assume that the population is divided into six social clusters with different incentives to work. The first social cluster (business oriented people) has standard incentive: getting profit. Other clusters’ members (state and military servants, scientists, art workers, priests, etc.) try to lift on the social stairs, getting higher rank. Having a position of a certain rank, a person obtains the possibility to consume goods according to fixed norms.
