Well if you want something to read to get an edge on others you won't find anything specific. But you could check anything on market trading and learn a lot of thing that could be usefull to you on the market.
But if you want info on the econ in general, well you got to understand that EVE is virtual and the economy is base on manifacturing alone. We produce "under licence" everything, we don't have a system to reflect inovation of the real worl. All the ship come from blue print created by NPC corp. There is no brand to hook you on, no two thing alike with almost the same spec (MAC - PC) (PC: Dell, IBM, HP, ACER, ALIENWARE, and so on). You just choose what's the cheapest or got the best stats on the market, you don't realy care if its brand icon is a pink hippo with butterfly all over it or if there customer support is ****.
Also we don't need food or cloth, we don't need entertainment, we don't need applience or gadget. We don't have to produce spare parts for jump gate or we dont get maintenance contract on station or ship. We don't have to pay a monthly fee to be able to talk to agents from a 23 jumps distance, you don't have to shop longdistance plan, you never get sick, you don't pay a very fine diner to a lady for a good loot :P, you don't have kids in 12 stations with you having to support them, so on and so on and so on and so on. This is a big part of the western economy that is not reflected in game. Also we only have one curency this is something.
We live under war production everything is base on conflict and nothing else.
So if you want info, check the economy of developing country like China and India the part about them producing cheaper for the western country. And you'll get a feel of the game in that sens (manifacturing). Also check the economy during WWII you'll find other aspect reflected there(production in time of war).
But remember its a game so its a lot diferent from reality. I don't think that cloning is a very fun process. If the player had to experiance what there char are going through when they wake up and find out they are dead....again. There would be a lot less poding im sure.
