Gravity of Wealth

When a central bank prints billions of dollars to stimulate the economy, the new money does not reach everyone at the exact same time. The first recipients—usually major banks, financial institutions, and government contractors—spend this money before prices have risen. By the time the funds trickle down to the average worker, the resulting inflation has already destroyed their purchasing power.

This hidden mechanical transfer of wealth is known as the Cantillon Effect. This deep-dive into macroeconomics uncovers the invisible force driving the modern wealth gap. It is not necessarily a flaw in capitalism, but a direct consequence of how fiat currency is structured and injected into the system.

Through historical comparisons and modern financial data, the book explains how proximity to the money printer acts as a gravitational pull, naturally accumulating assets at the top while eroding the savings of the working class. It strips away the complex jargon to reveal the raw physics of central banking.
