The research primarily focused upon the aspects of power, wealth and class. The research shows that hierarchies within societies exist in order to be influential and attain higher state of power.

                        The role of economy is considered an important aspect of any nation, culture or society. Most of the Modern world has abandoned the traditional warfare today’s wars are fought on the battle field of economy. Economic supremacy makes nation super power. We have example of USA in 20th century they became super power of the world by leading the economic world with their clear path toward supremacy they established industries, and reform America with their skills and clear aim to be economically strong and independent.

                        Martin’s depiction of medieval like world politics revolve around economy just like contemporary society and politics. Few noble families control the wealth of Westeros and by controlling the economy they act as Gods of the realm.

The novel treats the psychology of politics demonstrating that version of economy can be understood as the pursuit of politics. It also helps us understand these problems in the context of Post colonialism and to take appropriate measure to overcome these challenges.

B) Research Objectives

1. To analyze the stereotypical role of economy in the power struggle in A Game of Thrones.

2. To examine the proponents of post-colonialism in the primary text.

The attempt has been made to accommodate the older and modern context to grasp various evolution and attribute of areas. The literature review circumscribe assessment of the original sources, assessment of Post Colonial theory and assessment of socio-economic conditions. The current research provides inestimable data of Post Colonialism and filled up the extant gaps in English Literature. The assessment of primary sources basically literary contributions of social and political scientists supported the data.

William Davies is the author of book The Limits Of Neoliberalism: Authority, Sovereignty and the Logic Competition (2014). The book treats the psychology of politics demonstrating that version of economy can be understood as the pursuit of politics. The remarkable work explores to re-model society in terms of competition. Mat Hardy’s work The East is Least: The Stereotypical imagining in Game of Thrones (2019) helped in extracting facts about cultural superiority, representation of power, class, wealth and orientalist representation. The significant work centered upon the root of imperial creed as internalized impulse that created consciousness of superiority over others. The same thoughts are explored by Diana Marques in Power and the Denial of Femininity (2019) elaborates and endorsed Mat Hardy by highlighting the representation of women hood who are strong and occupying positions of power however it is clear that in Patriarchal culture the power resides in hands and decision of men. The paradigm of power is changing but it cannot be wholly neglected and discarded. Diana Marques criticizing the dominant systems in the Eurocentric ideology responsible for command obedience narratives that constantly generates state of disorder in form of conflicts.

The review of literature on post-colonialism supports the discourse. The data is strengthened by the significant work of Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffith; The Empire Writes Back (2003). The work is post-colonial narrative that examines how European nations dominated and controlled the world and how subordinated nations and people reacted and challenged to claim their identities particularly social, political, ideological and economic. The book Post-Colonialism (2019) is written by Tariq Jaleez focused on the facts that the theory is a set of methodology for power and shape secondly it is concerned with politics of representation of people and spaces and it is geographical intellectual enterprise. The aforementioned books and research articles are those which researcher believes to be essential for understanding of conflicts and their resolution with reference to the primary text in domain of the post-colonialism.

This article is based upon qualitative research methodology employed the approach of political inquiry to analyze the economy in terms of post-colonialism. The political inquiry essentially deals with intra and extra societal variables across nation such as institutional behavior, responsibility of state and governance.
