The dynasty tax cycle
About this model
Ibn Khaldun, 14th century. A new dynasty taxes lightly and enterprise thrives, but each generation raises the tax rate until the burden suffocates enterprise and the dynasty falls. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
