The #CantillonEffect describes how new money entering an economy benefits the first recipients the most, usually banks and the wealthy, while the rest of the population experiences price increases without a matching rise in income.

Essentially, it's about how those close to the money source (like central banks) gain purchasing power, while everyone else gets hit with inflation.

It's a big deal in discussions about monetary policy and wealth inequality.
