There should be 4 generations according to ibn Khaldun. The best way, of course, is to check it directly in his work, but I heard about them in the following interpretation: The 1st generation of rulers: Nomads come from the desert to a city, slaughter the city's elite and establish their dynasty. 2nd generation: Continues conquest, expands the empire. 3rd generation: Enjoys the greatness achieved by the previous generations and focuses on development and beautification - sponsors arts, sciences etc. 4th generation: Falls into the crisis of "nothing left to desire", drowns in luxury and decadence, and finally gets slaughtered by another tribe of nomads coming from the desert.

It may be also true in relation to their economical theories. Or, if not direct influence, then certainly continuity, something like ibn Khaldun ==> Adam Smith ==> Karl Marx.
