There’s an interesting video on WoW Radio concerning the topic of ‘virtual economies’. I have been fascinated with the subject myself for years. A friend of mine who plays Final Fantasy XI religiously does so just for buying, trading and selling.

I have even heard of sweat shops in Asia for the purpose of gold farming. Check out the Via link at the bottom for the site.
