Edward Castronova, virtual economy

In a comment on my post 'Artifical economy to exceed authentic money' was a link to a interview with the economic Edward Castronova who recently published the book 'Syntethic worlds: The buisness and culture of online games'. He's studying how game economics effect the real world™ economy and I think his studies and publications may come in handy for game developers everywhere, especially those who is focusing on MMORPGs.
