Castranova's book doesn't deal with Second Life much at all though it is the best source for information about virtual economies. I would suggest you look at the del.icio.us Second Life group. There is a sub-tag for economy and lots of great links there. On 11/1/06, Jonathan Stern <jonlwstern@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I am looking for publications (preferably) and articles on Second Life. I would especially be interested in these that deal with Second Life's economy. I would only be interested in materials that are freely available online..

Thanks! M.K
