Cameralism

About this model

Cameralist writers of the German states, 17th–18th centuries. The state taxes its subjects and reinvests a share of the revenue in state industry; the rest is spent, and high taxes shrink the population that produces the revenue. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
