Overheating economy?

[Havran00]

So Ive played my first 6 hours of the game, and it seems like I overheated my economy. I started pretty slowly but then realised that expanding buildings that are not profitable increases my GDP rapidly, which will then cover the fact that it was not profitable at first. I massivelly expanded my heavy industry and became one of the strongest economies in the world - with GDP per capita as the best. But then I realised that my radicals started rapidly growing - it reached over a milion in a few years - I finded out that 100% of my peasants are in unlivable conditions. I thought that its because stuff like food and wood was pretty expensive so I started expanding those rapidly, amoutn of radicalls started falling slowly but then it got stuck, and then my economy crashed and I had to go bancrupt. What did I do wrong? Is there even a way of how to de-radicalise those peasats? Btw balance says that they were in + all the time, so were they really struggling?

if your peasants living in unlivable conditions was the problem I know there's welfare laws that you can put so those people probably wouldn't be radicalized

Or use internal affaird and police to keep them down, kill them if they dare to rebel, and use your theocratic ethnostate's massive authority to forcefully stop radicalization in focus points.

Also try to subsidize Rural jobs.

I used emergency relief but it was not enough.

welfare laws are way more powerful than the emergency relief decree.

Go on a building and hit the Pound logo, it subsidise the building meaning the worker will get better pay

No, select the province you're having turmoil in, go to the Buildings tab and select List View (just under the Information Tab, for easier viewing), then the round button with the British Pound symbol and the + is what you click to give Subsidies (or basically government money) to that particular job to increase the Standard of Living for that workforce. It's like a guaranteed wage. Do that for the Rural (or low income type) jobs, and it should start fixing over time. Once it's fixed you can slow stop subsidizing. But at the same time try everything your can to keep people wanting to live in that province so you don't lose your work force in that province.

It's a lot to keep an eye on I know, but start with the first bit about giving subsidies, then worry about the rest later.

Also, this may not be the most efficient way, I only have about 10hrs in, but this is the only way I figured out how to do it reliably so far.
