trickle-down economics

n.

The worst and most absolutely illogical form of world capitalism. Holds that if you give money to people who are already rich, it will be invested and slowly "trickle down" to the hands of those who need the money. Doesn't ever work, and has no logic at all. Practiced by rightards and Republicunts. Was responsible for the economic disaster that was the Great Depression.
If you conservative dumbshits want the commies to come back, then just keep practicing those trickle-down economics...

trickle down economics

n. The most absurd economic theory that ever existed. It includes giving the rich large sums of money. Accordingly, the wealthy will then hoarde the money into banks and there will therefore, be less money in circulation.
Herbert Hoover used trickle down economics, taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. He is responsible for the Great Depression.

Esoteric Economics

Esoteric economics is a failed school of economic thought that claims wage labor and the traditional business are created by the state. Esoteric economics also argues that the state can be abolish if you just buy Bitcoin and that states are unsustainable. Esoteric economics is heavily influenced by mutualist economics and Austrian economics.

Chicago economist David D. Friedman challenged the founder of the Esoteric school of thought on a livestream and destroyed him using facts and logic to debunk his new school of thought.
Esoteric Economics: “Wage labor and the traditional business model are state creationS and 3D printers will abolish them”

Esoteric Economics: “Just buy Bitcoin and the state will go away”

Esoteric Economics: “State are unsustainable due to the exponential growth curve”
