A real economy?

Is WoW's Economy just like the "Real World's" economy? I believe so on some facts. When it's about supply and demand. In Denmark if we've had a bad harvest, then the price goes up on corn. And why is that? It's the simple Supply&demand, wich we also have in wow. When there is less supply on a ware (( ie. If it has been a bad harvest on corn)) and there's still a high demand, then the price goes up. In wow that could be in the summer where the farmer's are on holiday (( If they ever are lol)) and people still want eternal fire, then the price goes up. If you want to learn more about Supply and demand then check out Markco's post about it.  A lesson in inscription and supply and demand; http://www.justmytwocopper.org/2009/10/inscription-lesson-in-supply-and-demand.html
