WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

[edit] Needs Sources

Well, this page requires some sources, doesn't it? I mean, especially with the last two sentences of the entry. There seems to be absolutely no material supporting the claim--it would be really great if someone could do something about it. :)

[edit] Khaldun-Laffer Curve

I appreciate that Ibn Kaldun argued for an initially positive, but eventually negative relationship between tax rates and revenues. But to refer to it as the 'Khaldun-Laffer curve' instead of the 'Laffer curve' will only unnecessarily confuse the issue. There are many other 'laws' that are known by their modern promulgators, the principles of which were discovered in the past. We should refer to concepts by the names they are best known by. lk 10:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
