Trickle down economics was an economic policy supported by Ronald Reagan.
Trickle-down economic policy is supported by proponents who argue that tax cuts and benefits for the wealthy and businesses will stimulate investment, job creation, and economic growth, ultimately benefiting all levels of society. Advocates believe that when the rich have more capital, they will spend and invest more, leading to increased employment and higher wages for lower-income individuals. Critics, however, argue that this approach often exacerbates income inequality and fails to deliver the promised benefits to the broader population.
The minister of finance and the minister of economics and trade mainly shape the economic policy of a country.
In the field of economics, there are various alternative choices available, such as different economic systems (capitalism, socialism, etc.), different economic policies (monetary policy, fiscal policy), and different economic theories (Keynesian economics, neoclassical economics). These choices impact how resources are allocated, how wealth is distributed, and how economic growth is achieved.
Reagan's domestic economic policy centered on the "Trickle Down" policy -- reduce or eliminate regulations on businesses and give tax breaks to the highest economic earners, and the benefits would trickle down to the lower economic classes. Unfortunately, Reagan forgot to take into account the reason that the top economic class is rich: They keep their wealth and accumulate more while spending the least possible. With deregulation, the CEO's found even more loopholes to save on the taxes they weren't paying. The Trickle Down theory was also known as "Reaganomics."
Normative economics is the idealized part of economics that encompasses value judgments about economic fairness. It typically concerns what the outcome of an economy or what public policy ought to be.
Reaganomics was the name given to Reagan's idea that revenue would be increased if taxes were lowered so that people had more more to spend, thus stimulating the economy.

Politics deals with how to govern or control, to manage public affairs. Economics discusses economic policy. It takes a government to govern and to control, but it is the government to execute its economic policy.
