==================== HES POSTING ==================== Hi, May I enter the discussion with a further question about origins? I have been trying for some time to discover the origins of the phrase "trickle down" that has been widely used in the literature of Development Economics. Can anyone on this list help with references to the first (or early) use of this expression? With thanks for any help with this question, Jim Thomas ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
