http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_up_effect

"The *trickle up effect *argues itself as more effective than the trickle down effect because people who have less tend to buy more. ... The trickle up effect, in a corollary to this, states that benefiting the poor directly (for example through micro loans<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcredit>) will boost the productivity of the society as a whole and thus those benefits will, in effect, "trickle up" to benefits for the wealthy."
