Ok, I think I have some idea about what's wrong.

The key thing that you should note is that once your treasury drops below -500bc, your economy will automatically shut down and all resources would be channelled to treasury. The reason why I think your treasury is <500bc is because you do not have any social and research expenses even though your sliders are at 40% & 30%. This indicates an economy shutdown.

So once you are back to above -500bc, adjust your expenditure (currently at 100%) so that there is a positive balance. Then you should be alright. Else you will find yourself in a see-saw mode, going into the red, recovering through a shutdown, going into the red....

Another suggestion, you appear to be trying to get by with tribute income instead of taxes. By cutting tax rate to zero, you are growing your population massively. So watch your morale (54% is average), else you are going to have problems winning the senate, overpopulation, etc.
