Markets vs. Plunder: Theon’s Case for Cooperation

Season 2, Episode 3: Theon argues for cooperation and gains from trade, his father argues for seizing land and not doing anything productive. This is a good example of how wealth was gained throughout history vs. how wealth is primarily gained now. Most of the rich people in the world now gain their wealth through trading, while throughout history wealth was primarily gained by seizing other people’s land and treasures.
