Book excerpt: The virtual realms of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have gained worldwide popularity in recent years. In particular, researchers have identified legitimate elements of community within these aptly called synthetic worlds. The present paper seeks to apply familiar theories of economic justice to two selected MMORPGs to discover how such frameworks are modeled in virtual worlds. We will draw from communitarian, cosmopolitan, and liberal internationalist perspectives, with special attention given to virtual currency and trade.
