Alexander I agree with you in principal, it is true that we don't usually see much trickle down, but there was an exception in history which if you miss, leads to a false conclusion. The exception was when 4Tn per month stimulus was being issued in US. That was when oil prices went negative, and the environment showed the only spike of recovery, ever. What was happening was folk trading with free money in markets, using the RobinHood app, the market was saturated with those new traders. Traditional profit driven traders quit the markets at the time, led by the bigger players including Warrent Buffet, who claimed "Something had gone wrong with money". The new traders were buying things that made no sense to traditional investors, including shares in bankrupt companies, like Hertz, and ship cruise companies. If we try to guess at the average mindset of those folk, who never had the disposable income to save or invest in their lives before, we have to conclude they were throwing their free money at the things they saw were valuable, and would one day hope to be able to enjoy the products of, like nice hire cars, and cruises on ships. They didn't buy oil, so its price went negative. The banks in the US even changed the laws to allow trading in bankrupt stocks to continue at that time, because that was pretty much the only trading still going on, after the traditional investor fled, and Hertz would not be still with us now if that had not happened.

To me, this was a test run of "Kardashev Money". I won't bore with the details of that again here, anyone interested can search it out, but in essence, the dollar went up also at that time, which confounded the traditional economists expectations.

By my own systems Engineering analyses, it all adds up, and is the result of things no longer being physically accountable as capital.

Nature is actually now driving inflation, we can see this if we understand the mathematical implications of the change in energy source from Earth extracted energy, to energy accepted as donation from the sun.

So, it looks to me now inevitable that money will devalue until it is issued again as "Kardashev Money".

What we saw in that -ve priced oil trading period, was pure fine grained democracy, it seems to me, again the only time in history.

So I would say that there is a condition when trickle-down economics does work, and that is when more money than anyone can possibly spend is being donated at the top level, resulting in folk at the bottom also having more money than they can spend, ie when the system is saturated with money.

I've done some stories also analysing the effects of that money flow representing energy, it is like an engine, the same kind of engine as in a plant, transporting energy from its leaves by nutrients to all on Earth needing it.

It all analyses perfectly like electronic or plumbing circuit theory, market prices equate to pressures or voltages at various points in the system and current flows accordingly. In that scenario the market really is the heart of the system, and it really is truly free, something that would generate more value than we can imagine by the old system of all things as capital.

Isn't it strange that no-one talks much about those events?

Isn't it also strange that the guy who ordered the free money to be issued, who loves to boast, was the only president presiding over the only actual spike of positive recover in the environment ever, never mentions it himself?

We have to wonder if the real reason he is banned, isn't that he actually upset the establishment, by revealing the power given to people by massive issue of money, it literally levels the playing field, it seems to me. I bet the bankers were really pissed with him.

I hope you might think about this, and maybe it will positively change your direction of writing.

It would be an awful shame if humanity perishes, because we didn't know, or want to know any better, it seems to me.
