Cooper Thompson
Other than the obvious points of LOTR being a pure fantasy series and how in the ever loving fuck would you work in some retarded chapter explaining the taxation system of 50,000 foot tall fantasy tree cities of elves, GRRM doesn't actually talk about his own taxes and standing armies either, if you read the entirety of the books the only sort of financial talk that ever arises are mentions that various countries are in debt, but that debt is never specifically shown to have consequences or really addressed in any way.
Michael Morris
You mean Lehman Brothers or Bear Sterns, Goldman Sachs got out in time.
Luke Sanchez
No he doesn’t. Because that shit is post scriptum and didn’t even matter. Part of telling a good story is knowing what you’re writing and it’s pretty obvious that fatfuck has lost control of his, to the point where he’ll work on anything else, even video games, to avoid it.
William Evans
None of those points are legitimate, LotR is an anglo-saxon/viking epic, not a historical treatise on warfare and taxation

Evan Richardson
Games of Thrones hack author trying to act like he is on the same playing field as Tolkien in world-building. As if he was with Tolkien in 1955 he could have given Tolkien advice on how to make LotR better, by having Tolkien put in unnecessary and mundane information such as middle earth’s tax plans, army regulations, etc like everyone wasn’t satisfied with the ending and needed a fourth installment of Aragorn sitting all day doing paperwork at his desk in Gondor; from what I recall Pippin opened a library after LotR - Martin would like to see the paperwork on that too; might as well throw in the details of Sam’s marriage - did he have a large income from the war, maybe he made Rose sign a prenup; Frodo sold Bag-End, we need to see the paperwork on that; and of course the orc-hunting policy, Martin points out not all the orcs were killed in the war, what are the people of middle earth gonna do about it - kill them as they see them? (which is a fine enough conclusion to assume) but Martin has to know for sure, were detachments sent to hunt for them? Was there a policy established that orcs dindu nuffin and should be integrated?
Martin asks questions that can easily be answered by the reader’s own tastes; I assume he just made those statements for publicity and to place himself in the same league as Tolkien, because the things he’s concerned about are very trivial and literally who cares tier
Brayden Ortiz
I'm pretty sure Martin also said that there are two kinds of writing that boil down to--developing the story before you start writing, and writing to develop the story. He's in the latter camp, and he's demonstrating exactly why that's a terrible approach.
Jaxson Johnson
True, but Goldman tanked pretty fucking hard in 2008 as well. Didn't they have some toxic assets? I mean, obviously there was panic/herd selling at that point, but I don't quite believe that they weren't exposed at all, just because they ultimately made it.

>Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple.
It actually almost always is. The ruler of a country - whether that's a King or an elected President - makes the high level decisions that steer a country's direction and broadly determines how well the country will do. A shit ruler makes for a shit country, and a good ruler makes for a good country. It's rare to see this pattern reversed.
Chase Foster
Well, the sell-offs were speculation (fear) about the extent of the problem, which at the time nobody really understood. In general, stock prices shouldn't be counted on as an indicator of what's actually going on, for all sorts of reasons: there's more tea-leaf reading going on now than ever before (in the form of algorithmic trading), modest fast changes create positive feedback loops (or, as they say, "don't catch a falling knife"), the methodology is dodgy as shit, an awful lot of money is in index funds which will drag unrelated stocks along for the ride... not to mention, the 2009 stock price crash was not caused by new financial reports, but by news reports.

That is what Martin is trying to say, yes. But thanks for proving the point: Tolkien fans are autistic about perceived criticism, even if it isn't criticism in the first place.
A good man does not necessarily make a good ruler. Aragorn just conveniently happens to be both.

GRRM may have some bullshit book of his in mind as his personal masterpiece, but he's a wrong fatass with jungle fever.

I'd say the "writing to develop the story" thing works, at farthest, with a trilogy. It's only a terrible approach with multibook epics. And that only makes sense since we're talking about a completely different kind of work.
That said, if you can't get a story told in three books or under it's probably not worth telling anyway.

I haven't read the Game of Thrones books in quite a while, but from what I remember they don't even include any information on King Robert or Joffrey's tax policies.

It's pretty much all plot and action for the first 3 books.

it's been a while for me too but it's a major plot point in the first book how Roberts entire reign (20 years?) has been one huge fiscal fuckup with Robert only caring about spending it on tourneys and feasts and shit like that.

In fact, it has been remarked by some that the Hobbits' only real passion is for shares. A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the trading of bitcoins, and the validating of insurance claims. But where our hearts truly lie is in tax and premiums, and good steady stocks. For all Hobbits share a love of things that grow.

Now now dear hobbits, we can argue all we like about how having daughters is cuckoldry, but we are missing the larger problem. Taxation. Taxation is not just theft, but cuckoldry.

It wasn't really all that major of a plot point. It's certainly something that was established, sure, but the realm's debt never really had any tangible actual effect on anything in the story.

POLITICS:
Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?"
Father: "Sure son. What's the question?"
Son: "What is Politics?"
Father: "Well, let's take our home for an example. I am the wage earner, so let's call me "Capitalism". your mother is the administrator of money, so we'll call her "Government". We take care of your need, so let's call you "The People". We'll call the maid "The Working Class" and your little brother, we can call "The Future". Do you understand son?
Son: "I'm not really sure, dad. I'll have to think about it."
That night awakened by his brother's crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parents' room and found his mother sound asleep. He went to the maid's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to sleep. The next morning he reported to his father.
Son: "Dad, now I think i understand what politics is."
Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"
Son: "Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, Government is sound asleep, the People are being completely ignored and the Future is full of shit."

It's true you don't see many dwarf-bonds. And in fact, they are so alike in derivatives and securitisation that they're often mistaken for dwarf-loans.

>Here's the fuller quotation given in the Introduction of the 'Unfinished Tales':
"... while many like you demand maps, others wish for geological indications rather than places; many want Elvish grammars, phonologies, and specimens; some want metrics and prosodies.... Musicians want tunes, and musical notation; archaeologists want ceramics and metallurgy; botanists want a more accurate description of the mallorn, of elanor, niphredil, alfirin, mallos, and symbelmynë; historians want more details about the social and political structure of Gondor; general enquirers want information about the Wainriders, the Harad, Dwarvish origins, the Dead Men, the Beornings, and the missing two wizards (out of five)."

Only the nobility and soldiers in their employ were allowed to bear arms in cities, so probably.
"Gun control" is actually a rather medieval policy if you think about it. There's a reason the right to bear arms and citizen militias were such a big deal to Europe's Republican revolutionairies. Only the U.S.A. still gives a fuck. Even Switzerland has relatively strict fun control now.
