Second Life Economy Overview
Second Life mimics real life where society needs and relies on money exchanging hands to support economic growth. As more real-world currencies are converted into Lindens (the financial unit of exchange in Second Life), more money becomes available for exchange between participants. "The Fed" (US Federal Reserve Bank) in the U.S. greatly influences the cost of borrowing money and setting its value through financial policy. In Second Life, Linden Labs has many of the same controls over the costs of capital, exchanges, its value, and availability of currency.
