Eyjolfur Guomundsson on Virtual Economies

Podcast via http://www.businessweek.com/mediacenter/podcasts/innovation/innovation_09_24_08.htm

Description

“This week's BusinessWeek Innovation of the Week podcast talks with Eyjolfur Guomundsson, the house economist for EVE Online, a massively multiplayer space game based on establishing and disrupting interplanetary trade. What's fascinating here is getting the perspective of an economist whose job is to design an economy that's "fun" -- or at least engrossing. It's not often that you get to hear economics described as an experimental science.” (http://www.boingboing.net/2008/10/02/eve-onlines-economis.html)
