For those interested in the topic of economics as they play out in MMOG's we have written a white paper (pdf) on the topic. We feel that this issue is becoming increasingly important to players and companies dealing with online game worlds, and the nature of economics in these game worlds.
Our approach is to look at the problem from a sustainability stand point in which both the player population as a whole, and individuals, are able to achieve the goals and desires they set. It is also geared towards a relationship where the developer can benefit and profit from economic relationships in online games.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to give them. We are all about peer review.

Was this the one you were going to run by me? If so, I'm not getting your emails, evidently.
I'll have more constructive things to say once I read it later this week!

Actually, it's more like, "Damn those people who thread their e-mail folders and forget that new messages often lurk hidden from sight!"
I need to make a Verse filter to highlight communication with you guys. I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.
