When I think "economics of Game...Great post. <br /><br />When I think "economics of Game of Thrones", I think of the internal logic of Westeros. If you have winters of long and variable length, way more tech development would have gone into canning and food preservation. Tech there looks maybe 12-14th C, but there's nothing particularly tricky about canning other than getting a decent seal on a jar; I'd have expected Westeros to have figured it out. How is it that Westeros has to import glass rather than having a huge domestic glass industry for glasshouses? <br /><br />Almost finished reading the last book now. While Winterfell has glasshouses for winter gardens, it's darned hard to find evidence of huge amounts of food storage other than some ice-house storage within the Wall for the Night's Watch. Makes no darned sense. Had a few initial thoughts on it here. http://offsettingbehaviour.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/winter-is-coming-where-are-storehouses.htmlEric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.com
