Design of Online Economies: Currency

A brief write up on online economies, specifically the role of currency.  I'm doing a series of articles on
these, primarily so I can gather my thoughts on a lot of issues.  These are intended to be "survey" type
articles instead of "how to" articles -- the latter is kind of hard to do since no one has built a fully
functional and stable online economy =)

A really interesting article. Not that I'm trying to implement an economy
in our game, but it was a fun read nevertheless. :)

What I didn't understand from this review -
did aliens reveal all those secrets to the author while he
was abducted by an UFO - or are aliens really controlling us
through that enslaving "money" system they made up?
