A Book In The Making: Metanomics
Robert Bloomfield at Terranova has coined a term that I think will stick:
[…]
It feels somewhat silly to coin a new word, but “metanomics” does a nice job of communicating the scope of the series—and a field of study—in a single term: Metanomics = metaverse economics. The term isn’t perfect, as this field of study is broader than just economics (it will include hefty doses of law, social science and technology), and everyone quibbles over the term “metaverse.” But economics is the supremely imperialistic social science, and there is hardly anything economics haven’t laid claim to as their jurisdiction. My definition of the metaverse is equally broad—I don’t see any reason to exclude social networking sites or communication technologies like Skype from the metaverse, for example.
Bettr than Wikinomics, at any rate. How come no one has launched Webconomics? Edgeconomics?
