I'm not sure I follow this line of thinking. There's no reason at all to assume that the dragon lords are sociopaths narcissists, in fact we've seen them have interests beyond themselves. This isn't the Austrian School of Economics, you can't declare something true and then argue that reality is wrong when its shown to be false.
Hahaha, nothing like showing a complete and total lack of understanding on how Austrian Economics works.
What you just described is actually much closer to how the currently used modern Keynesian Economics work.
Sure, Keynesians have all their pretty models and charts, but none of them amount to any sort of value, because the models are not concurrent with reality.
Which is why the word economy is going down the toilet, because we have been force-fed this Keynesian crap that just flat out doesn't work. Sure, the best way to save money and have a stable economy is to spend in a won-ton fashion. Sure, that makes a whole lot of sense. In order to becomes wealthy I don't need to save money.....I need to SPEND it.....typical Keynesian type of attitude that models just fine but just makes exactly 0 sense when applied to the actual market as it stands.
Some certain members of the Austrian school may admittedly be a bit too hardline against the use of models and statistics, but the entire concept of the school at its BASE is the idea that the market shifts based on the actions of the individuals within the economy. Something which the Keynesian school completely ignore in favor of numbers and statistics which do not accurately represent the people who make up the market itself. For this reason a lot of people who subscribe to the Austrian school downplay the importance of statistics and models simply for the fact that many of these sorts of market fluctuations are simply common sense.
According to the Keynesian school, a simple concept like the idea that people who live in dry arid environments are going to have a higher demand for water (and that the market will fluctuate based on that demand) isn't even a considered. Those of the Austrian school don't feel the need to model or use statistics for such scenarios, because anyone with even half a brain should understand that such interactions exist and have pull upon a market.
I suggest you go read "Human Action" by Ludvig Von Misis. It will give you a much better understanding of how Austrian Economics ACTUALLY works, and not these fantastical ideas that have been spread about to discredit it.
Sorry, complete derail......continue with the discussion on how Tarkir is boned no matter what timeline we end up with.
