Economics are an important part of the series. Littlefinger gains power by slowly bankrupting the realm during Robert's reign. yrells gain power by having money that the crown doesn't have (thanks to Littlefinger), there are food riots during Clash and eventually that turns into the Sparrow movement in Feast. Stannis has to make deals with the Iron Bank, as does Cersei, Dany starts out completely broke so deals with vultures of Qarth, she has to find ways to pay for The Unsullied, etc.
All the kings in F&B have their economic plans laid out. Jaeherys faces a broke kingdom so he needs money. He hires a master of coin and tells him to raise taxes. Everybody gets mad, of course and ready to revolt. Once Jaeherys has enough money, he says "oh, I didn't know about the taxes. It was my evil master of coin going solo. I shall get rid of him and lower your taxes because I'm a good king." Jaeherys the Based gets his money AND everyone thinks he's the good guy.
