The biggest political theory of the last 30 years is supply side
economics. It was the basis of the policies of all Republican presidents
from Ronald Reagan onward. The idea is that if the rich are given more
money, they will use it to invest in business and thus create jobs.
According to the theory, if you give money to the poor, they will just
spend it. The rich, on the other hand, will help businesses to grow and
this will help the poor.
The idea is nonsense as anyone who has ever run an actual business
should be able to explain. Businesses expand when they see a lot of
demand for their products.
