A palace economy or redistribution economyde Blois, Lukas; R.J. van der Spek; Susan Mellor (translator) (1997). An Introduction to the Ancient World. Routledge, pages 56-60. ISBN 0415127734.  is a system of economic organisation in which a substantial share of the wealth flows into the control of a centralized secular administration, the palace, and out from there to the general population, which may be allowed its own sources of income, but relies heavily on the wealth redistributed by the palace.
