The difference between trickle up economics and trickle down economics is not only ineffably vast, but it is able to shed light on the utmost consequential reason as to why one nation's economy is prosperous and robust while another nation's economy is stagnant and dull. The system of trickle down economics creates a centralized economy in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of relatively few people whereas the system of trickle up economics creates a robust decentralized economy in which wealth is dispersed into the hands of many. The premise of the system of trickle down economics is that concentrating wealth in the hands of so few people will preponderantly benefit the economy more so than the dispersion of wealth. "Trickle down economics is a theory that claims benefits for the wealthy trickle down to everyone else. Trickle-down economics assumes investors, savers, and company owners are the real drivers of growth. It also assumes that they will use any extra cash from tax cuts to expand businesses. Under this assumption, investors will buy more companies or stocks, banks will increase lending, owners will invest in their operations and hire workers, and all of this expansion will theoretically trickle down to workers. The workers will spend their wages to drive demand and economic growth" (Amadeo, 2019). In reality, a system of trickle down economics does not have such benefits for increasing the standard of living nor for spurring economic growth since corporations view employees as exploitable, expendable labor cost liabilities who are a dime a dozen. Companies will never pay their employees a penny above minimum wage, irrespective of how credentialed they are, even though companies now have market caps exceeding $1,000,000,000,000. One of the underlying principles of trickle down economics is that "targeted tax cuts work better than general ones. It advocates cuts to corporations, capital gains, and savings taxes. It does not promote across-the-board tax cuts. Instead, the tax cuts go to the wealthy and the benefits ostensibly trickle down to everyone else. It is also contended that the tax cuts offered to the wealthy provide a powerful multiplication effect" (Amadeo, 2019). It is posited that "this will create a more prosperous economy and a larger tax base" (Amadeo, 2019) under this system of trickle down economics. Trickle down economics has profusely increased the income disparity and does not increase customer spending since tax cuts for the wealthy does not increase the purchasing power of the average private sector employee who does not even earn a sustenance wage for affording housing.

Download or read book Links Between Growth Inequality and Poverty A Survey written by Ms. Valerie Cerra and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a tradeoff between raising growth and reducing inequality and poverty? This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the complex links between growth, inequality, and poverty, with causation going in both directions. The evidence suggests that growth can be effective in reducing poverty, but its impact on inequality is ambiguous and depends on the underlying sources of growth. The impact of poverty and inequality on growth is likewise ambiguous, as several channels mediate the relationship. But most plausible mechanisms suggest that poverty and inequality reduce growth, at least in the long run. Policies play a role in shaping these relationships and those designed to improve equality of opportunity can simultaneously improve inclusiveness and growth.

Book excerpt: “Timely and important . . . It should be our North Star for the recovery and beyond.” —Hillary Clinton “Sperling makes a forceful case that only by speaking to matters of the spirit can liberals root their belief in economic justice in people’s deepest aspirations—in their sense of purpose and self-worth.” —The New York Times When Gene Sperling was in charge of coordinating economic policy in the Obama White House, he found himself surprised when serious people in Washington told him that the Obama focus on health care was a distraction because it was “not focused on the economy.” How, he asked, was the fear felt by millions of Americans of being one serious illness away from financial ruin not considered an economic issue? Too often, Sperling found that we measured economic success by metrics like GDP instead of whether the economy was succeeding in lifting up the sense of meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and security of people. In Economic Dignity, Sperling frames the way forward in a time of wrenching change and offers a vision of an economy whose guiding light is the promotion of dignity for all Americans.

Download or read book Obamanomics written by John R. Talbott and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author John R. Talbott, who predicted the housing and mortgage crisis, pictures in Obamanomics--written well in advance of the historic 2008 elections--a Barack Obama presidency based on justice and cooperation—principles that have not held sway in Washington, DC, for quite some time. Talbott's powerful grasp of finance allows him to connect the issue of financial inequality in America with our need as a people to embrace change. Obama has shown he knows that divisions among races, religions, and political views have prevented Americans from coming together to solve the most important problems of our age. Obamanomics, infused with Obama's speeches, campaign policy statements, and other writings, describes a government acting according to democratic principles to enact lobbying reform, get our economy moving again, fix our healthcare system, slow global warming, prevent unnecessary wars, improve education, address the aging of our population, find alternative energy sources, and bring about housing, mortgage, and banking reform.

Download or read book Trickle up Economics Trump Growth and Inequality written by Michele Alacevich and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first three years of the Trump administration, the U.S. economy grew steadily, and the unemployment rate fell to levels unseen since 1969. Donald Trump was swift in crediting the boon to his deregulatory policies, tax cuts, industrial protectionism and trade wars. It should be noted, however, that the economic results of the Trump administration continued in the footsteps of the Obama administration.The continuity between the Obama and Trump administrations is also visible in the very high levels of inequality. While it's true that inequality in the age of Trump is not a new phenomenon, the Trump administration took initiatives that have worsened an already dire situation. In particular, the introduction of the Tax Cuts and Job Act in November 2017 and the several attempts at repealing and hindering the functioning of Obamacare, contributed to increasingly skewed income, health, and racial inequality.The Covid pandemic and the massive sanitary and economic emergency that swept the United States functioned as a stress test for specific policies implemented by the Trump administration. In particular, the pandemic works as a magnifier of many inequalities, especially the racial divide that still haunts the United States.

Download or read book Inequality and Growth written by Theo S. Eicher and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even minute increases in a country's growth rate can result in dramatic changes in living standards over just one generation. The benefits of growth, however, may not be shared equally. Some may gain less than others, and a fraction of the population may actually be disadvantaged. Recent economic research has found both positive and negative relationships between growth and inequality across nations. The questions raised by these results include: What is the impact on inequality of policies designed to foster growth? Does inequality by itself facilitate or detract from economic growth, and does it amplify or diminish policy effectiveness? This book provides a forum for economists to examine the theoretical, empirical, and policy issues involved in the relationship between growth and inequality. The aim is to develop a framework for determining the role of public policy in enhancing both growth and equality. The diverse range of topics, examined in both developed and developing countries, includes natural resources, taxation, fertility, redistribution, technological change, transition, labor markets, and education. A theme common to all the essays is the importance of education in reducing inequality and increasing growth.
Download or read book Capital in the Twenty First Century written by Thomas Piketty and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In this work the author analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. He shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality--the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth--today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values if political action is not taken. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, the author says, and may do so again. This original work reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

Download or read book The Case for Degrowth written by Susan Paulson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining characteristic of contemporary societies. Yet it benefits few and demands monstrous social and ecological sacrifice. Is there a viable alternative? How can we halt the endless quest to grow global production and consumption and instead secure socio-ecological conditions that support lives worth living for all? In this compelling book, leading experts Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D’Alisa and Federico Demaria make the case for degrowth - living well with less, by living differently, prioritizing wellbeing, equity and sustainability. Drawing on emerging initiatives and enduring traditions around the world, they advance a radical degrowth vision and outline policies to shape work and care, income and investment that avoid exploitative and unsustainable practices. Degrowth, they argue, can be achieved through transformative strategies that allow societies to slow down by design, not disaster. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students, this book will be an important contribution to one of the thorniest and most pressing debates of our era.
