The notion of trickle-down is that increased credit or funds at the disposal of those least in material need willlead to increased economic activity because, their personal needs being already met, they will invest the money speculatively rather than merely spend it (as less wealthy people would) on basic consumption. The resulting growth in economic activity will "trickle-down" to those lower on the economic scale through the increased demand for goods and labor that expansion brings. The central proposition of "trickle-down" theory is that this is a more efficient and effective way to generate economic growth and widespread prosperity than alternative strategies such as (but not limited to) increasing credit or funds for people with lower incomes as they will spend more of it, stimulating growth through demand for goods and services.
