Cantillon Effect

« Back to Glossary Index

The Cantillon effect describes how newly created money does not reach everyone at the same time. Those closest to the source (banks, governments, asset owners) receive it first before prices increase. Those furthest from the source (wage workers and those who save cash) receive it last, after prices have risen, losing purchasing power in the transfer. The theory is named after 18th-century French economist Richard Cantillon.
