Grimdark Economics: How the Economy of the Imperium Works - Mechanicus Edition | Warhammer 40k Lore

In this video, we will go over the Mechanicum, who they are, what they believe and how they are ruining the economy of the Imperium of Man. We will also talk about some basic economic terms, of course using examples from both the lore and real world. Finanlly, you will get your much-needed Irish history lesson to round things off!
