Economics and The Vikings

There are apparently an awful lot of posts of economic analysis of "Game of Thrones", what with Karl Smith and Matt Yglesias debating inflation in Westeros.  I thought "The Vikings" deserves the same.  Unfortunately, all I can think of is that they seem to be taking a lot of gold out of England, and it all seems to be the English's fault for being so incompetent.  Or in other words, it's great to be George Soros when Albion relies on John Major for protection.  Reuters recently accidentally released a nasty obit (he's not dead) describing Soros as "piratical" and "highly succesful".  You say that like it's a bad thing.
