Of course the Orlanthi are Keynesians. All that waxing on about "generousity" - do you think they'd object to pumping up the money supply when times got rough? Can you imagine wind worshippers getting worried about *inflation*?

Now, the Lunars, I bet they're monetarists. It's the Dara Happan influence. All those Yelm worshippers, only using wheels coined by the Sun Wheel Dancers. True believers in the gold standard, always bitching about these newfangled silver coins. I bet that's why the Lunars lose.
