The Arthashastra treasury state
About this model
Kautilya (Chanakya), c. 300 BCE. Farmers, traders and state enterprises produce wealth; the treasury collects land tax and trade duties and spends on army, irrigation and officials; irrigation raises next year's harvests. A teaching model: it keeps only this core loop and leaves out everything else a real economy has.
