Lear Cale has posted an interesting thread on the LL forums, where he presents the stats that Linden Lab publishes about the SL economy in an interesting way. He’s reposted these stats in a Logarithmic chart which is a better representation of growth over time. He also explains these Log Charts very clearly and I think I finally understand why they are better for this sort of info. :)

Check out the stats, read his interpretation, and add your own thoughts on the past and future of the SL economy.
