PROTECTIONISM

The carriage makers guild has called on their noble lord to make things right. It appears the official carriage makers guild of the kingdom has fallen on hard times - no fault of their own of course. Some visigoths and vandals have set up rival carriage works in the kingdom and have gained an unfair advantage by not promising their tradesmen promises they can't keep. Now all of this is very upsetting to the carriage guild and they are relying on the noble lord - whom is well versed in mercantilism - to come to their rescue. If that fails they can always rely on a popular uprising among the serfs who will pressure the noble council to pass a resolution and send it to the noble lord for implementation. After all, the noble council is vested with the power to make commerce regular - like a bowel movement - there must be no surprises! Such measures don't work as good as they did back in the golden age - but the carriage makers guild knows they should get something - lest they be forced to make promises to their tradesmen they can keep!
