What Game of Thrones Can Teach Us About Political Power
On Sunday night at 9 p.m., Game of Thrones returns to HBO. And here at Reason, we are ready.
Join Reason editors Peter Suderman, Robby Soave, and yours truly as we rip apart the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones like a hungry baby dragon snacking on a sheep. In this very special SPOILER-FILLED episode of the podcast, the magazine’s resident draconologists ask what Game of Thrones teaches us about political power.
Robby Soave reveals why he’s a Daenerys hater, Peter Suderman has some ideas about fiscal discipline in Westeros, and I get excited about what’s for dinner in King’s Landing. We also shamefully give in to the temptation to draw parallels between 2020 American politics and a quasi-medieval fantasy world invented by George R.R. Martin in the 1990s. What does their wall in the North mean for our wall in the South? Is Pete Buttigieg actually Peter Baelish? Are the white walkers global warming? And does Varys have an office on K Street?
In the end, we drink, we know things, and all agree that we’re moving to Braavos.
(P.S. If you want to get your libertarian Game of Thrones itch scratched further, consider joining me on June 20 in D.C. when I emcee the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual dinner.)
