2 trickle-down theory
ECONOMICS = théorie selon laquelle les richesses accumulées par un petit nombre bénéficieront à tous les membres de la sociétéIn retirement Galbraith has continued in articles, speeches, and books to argue for strong government, progressive taxes and public spending. He is not a "Third Way" man. He ridiculed the Reaganite trickle-down theory of wealth distribution, preferring the earthier phrase "the horse-and-sparrow theory" - "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."
