I realized later on that his criticism is a bad faith one. Whatmatters is the focus of a story. Tolkien himself inspired himself by legend and mythology, as well as his experiences in WWI... on top of ironically having more faith in humanity than GRRM. If his legends say he was a good king, then a guy really was a good king because he was empathetic and wise, period. Sometimes overly elaborating hurts a story.

GRRM's own focuses on pragmatic, cynical history, with a large dash of misanthropy as someone that never fought (understandably so, mind). His stories focuses on the darker aspects of the medieval era, more often than not caused by the nature of power itself, which is why in those cases focuses on economics would matter as part of the larger whole.

That said, I hate what GRRM did to the fantasy genre in making people think medieval era was some grimdark shit with no morals or ethics code, alongside the grimdark = realism = good store false dichotomy he perpetuated.
