Trickle-down myth

Economist and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz makes a compelling case against the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in this editorial.

At the end of the editorial, Stiglitz makes a statement that every politician and policy maker must know:

“Trickle-down economics is a myth.”

Stiglitz says he has repeatedly emphasized this point, but obviously many people have not received the message. So the next time anybody tries to justify policies by advocating trickle-down economics, tell them they are wrong and to base their policies on something that actually works.

  1. Are you the same Joe Sparks who attended the PDA Progressive Roundtable last week? If so, nice remarks, questions, TY.

    Are you also the Sparks who wrote about the Ukrainian pop star at National Press Club? If so, was that piece simply reporting the event, or does it reflect your view on Ukraine?
