The government spent trillions to help ordinary Americans. Billionaire wealth grew by $1.3 trillion. This was not an accident.
Whether Washington taxes the rich to help the poor, or cuts taxes to help the rich invest, the final accounting looks remarkably the same: capital concentrates, the ownership class grows wealthier, and the distance between those who hold assets and those who sell their labor widens. Trickle-Up Economics names the structural mechanism behind this pattern - and shows why it operates regardless of which party holds power, or which Americans the spending is aimed at.
  • Why welfare spending reliably enriches landlords, retailers, and healthcare corporations
  • How the Cantillon Effect ensures the wealthy capture new money first - every time
  • Why minimum wage laws accelerate market consolidation in favor of big capital
  • How tax code architecture, zoning law, and monetary policy function as silent wealth transfers
  • The historical record from the New Deal to COVID stimulus - and who held the assets when the dust settled
  • What Public Choice Theory tells us about why government will always be captured by capital
Drawing on the work of economists from Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises to Thomas Piketty and Mancur Olson, Robert F. Geissler builds a cross-ideological case that the direction of government intervention matters far less than its mechanism - and that any program operating through consumption rather than ownership will, with near-structural certainty, end up enriching those who own the channels through which money flows.
