Two ideas for late game situations.
So it's clear that once the player overcomes the initial challenges a country faces, they can sit back and let their maxed out GDP take care of things. Here are two ideas I have for situations that could pop up in a fully-humming economy that would prevent that perfect happy ending that way too many people are getting.

1. Rentseeking: Because large businesses are risk averse, they will prefer to create profit for themselves with as little investment as possible. In a fully-developed economy with a mature finance sector, it becomes a lot easier for established corps to derive profit from holding down wages, stock buybacks, and all other sorts of fiscal tomfoolery with the end result being wealth creation with no tangible contribution to the economy. Taxing capital gains can encourage businesses to reinvest their profits instead of letting them sit on the stock market.

Causes:

GDP
Capitalists (Membership)
Economy Type (D3: Africa only, alternative to GDP)

Effects:

Angers Poor
Angers Middle Income
Pleases Wealthy
Pleases Capitalists
ENRAGES Socialists
Decreases Wages
Decreases Equality
Greatly increases High Earnings
Increases Corruption (D3: Africa only)
Increases Tax Evasion

Solutions:

Capital Gains Tax
Financial Service Regulations (D3: Africa only)
Enterprise Investment Scheme

2. Gentrification: This is a phenomenon that occurs when young, affluent people move into a poor neighborhood and fix it up, thus driving up property values and pricing the original population out of their homes. It's primarily a problem in developed, post-industrial countries, especially the US and Canada.

Causes:

GDP
Economy Type (D3: Africa)

Effects:

Angers Poor
Angers Socialists
Pleases Middle Income
Pleases Wealthy
Increases Homelessness
Increases Poverty
Decreases Equality

Solutions:

Rent Controls
Ban Second Home Ownership
State Housing

Anything anyone wants to add to this?

No. I like it though.

"Gentrification" is a concept which is hard to define.

Some suggested definitions are increasing property prices, increasing education level, or increasing income.

Still, neither of these parameters necessarily means that a higher social class replaces a social one.
Some examples:

* Industrial neighborhoods are renovated to include housing. No population replacement.
* Rising property prices without significant population replacement.
* Generation shift; working-age adults replace retired people. No shift of social classes, since a younger generation has on average spent more years at school than their parents have, and working people earn more than retired people.

Examples of one social class replacing another, are rare and isolated.

Hmm, I see. I was going by the most common definition I hear of, which is a formerly poor (often with a large minority population) being developed and revitalized, and in the process pricing out its former occupants. I understand though that this concept is controversial. It might also be restricted primarily to the USA and Canada, at least by that definition. But yeah, I had increasing property taxes and rent in mind when I wrote that.

Hmm, maybe an alternative to Gentrification would be a housing shortage, similar to situations found in Clones and Drones and Africa. I know San Francisco has a horrendous problem with it. Besides, I want to be able to do SOMETHING with that Ban Second Home Ownership policy, which as of right now is one of the most pointless in the game.

From the 1940s to the 1980s, the USA and Canada saw a middle- and upper-class flight from city centers to the suburbs. While the migration has sometimes been called "white flight", income level has been a more important factor than race. (In mostly-white cities, poor white people remained in the center. In cases where people from ethnic minorities could get rich and successful, they tend to move to the suburbs.)

In the 21st century, rich people tend to move to city centers. Many move into new-built infills, or redeveloped industrial districts. In a few neighborhoods, they replace poor people and ethnic minorities.

The few neighborhoods where inhabitants are forced out through rising rents, tend to have a central location of historical importance. That might explain why gentrification is such a hot topic, though it affects a very small part of the population.

This migration pattern has been weaker in Europe, where city centers have been the dwelling place of the rich since before modern times, and poor people and immigrants tend to live in high-rise suburbs.

"Clones & Drones" has the Housing Market Bubble, which should probably be linked to more different situations.

"Industrial Evolution" adds the Rust Belt. There could be use for some other situations related to urban planning.

Yeah, the Real Estate Bubble was what I was thinking of.
