Daniel [oeconomist.com] said...: Actually, the supply-side economists (of which I have never been a member) did not have a theory of trickle-down economics. That notion was the invention of a journalist, who could no more understand their actually theories than the typical journalist can understand anything else.

(For an example of a journalist similarly bastardizing the thought of a left-wing economist, see the news stories that reported that Tobin was given the BoS Nobel Prize for a theory that one should not put all eggs in one basket.); February 6, 2012 at 5:28 AM
