What are the economic lessons we can learn from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon? We will examine different economic lessons each week during season 2 of House of the Dragon’s release this summer.
In this video we examine three specific bargaining situations.
First, we see that Rob Stark needs help with a crossing, so he sends his mother to negotiate with Lord Frey. Lord Frey doesn’t really want to do this, and Rob is desperate, so Lord Frey gets a great deal. We discuss why in the video.
Second, we see how Bronn wants a raise. Given Tyrion Lannister is rich and doesn’t even know what he’s paying Bronn, it seems like Bronn will succeed.
Finally, we see how Tywin Lannister reduces his opponents alternatives and gets a better result for himself.
