Game of Thrones is one of the most popular TV series of all time. The leaders of the Seven Kingdoms are all striving to sit on the Iron Throne. Throughout the series, we see many economic concepts in action. On Econ Thrones, we have over 40 clips from the series that are designed to help students (of all ages) learn economics.
For educators, we also have several lesson plans available to help you easily integrate the Game of Thrones into your teaching.
Who created Econ Thrones?
This site was a collaboration between Daniel Bragen, Linda Ghent, Alan Grant, and Matthew Rousu. Matt, Daniel, Linda, and Alan started studying how to use Game of Thrones topics to teach separately, and when they learned that the others were working on the same topic, joined forces to work together to create this website. For questions, please contact Matthew Rousu.
