Abstract

The famous Indian manual on the management of kingdoms suggests an unusual tax that is based on a seller’s assessment of the price of the good to be sold. We show that this tax confronts the seller with an optimization problem. In translations, some interpretational issues have arisen that this paper claims to solve.
