In 1762, the Earl of Sandwich asked for meat between two slices of bread.
Did he invent the Sandwich?
Maybe Not - As People had been doing this for centuries.
But he had power, prestige, and profile, so he got to "name" it.
Economics works exactly the same way.

"Job Creators." "GDP growth." "Trickle-down." These aren't neutral terms but are the stories written by people with naming rights.

Filmed in Sandwich, Kent.
Yes, really.
