have never heard about econophysics. a lot of people are faszinated lately by the small world networking theory. (duncan watts and steve strogatz). people are playing again stanley milgram's "six degrees of seperation".

econophysics tries to connect contemporary physics with economy. hanappi has a paper on it: "maxwell’s demons in brains and politics. formulating the evolution of needs and values as dialectics of entropy"

conference on infonomics, another of those qué words. but anyhow, some of the papers sound interesting.
