From arena to skyrim,armor's prices are decreasing. the price of ebony cuirass in arena is 50000, in daggerfall is 38400, in morrowind is 35000, in oblivion is 1900, in skyrim is 1500. The price of common object like food and book are also drop sharply. the most important is tax from morrowind to oblivion is only 1 over 50-60. Can any one explain it .

I don't think its lore related, they just didn't want players to grind for money as much. It's one of those "gameplay over realism" kinda things I think.

I'd chalk that up to game mechanic. If you absolutely needed a lore reason for things like glass and ebony being cheaper, they used to be imported from Morrowind under a heavy tax under the Septim Empire. Maybe over the years since its collapse, new veins were found elsewhere and with the dissolution of Morrowind's government, the materials become much more cheaply imported into other provinces.

Also, when it comes to Daedric, I would assume there's lots of leftover suits of armor and weapons from the Oblivion crisis.

But i still don't know why the tax had decrease so much between oblivion and morrowind
Morrowind:Tax Record
Oblivion:Waterfront Tax Records
form these two source we found out that the price nearly 99%
i want to find something in lore to explain these change, pls don't say about real wprld.
