Why The Rich Get Richer - A 300 Year-Old Blueprint of Inequality

Every time new money enters the world, someone gets rich first — and someone else pays for it later.

Three centuries ago, one man uncovered this hidden law of wealth creation and inequality. His name was Richard Cantillon — the forgotten economist who discovered how money truly moves through society.

While others chased bubbles and panics, Cantillon saw the invisible mechanism that still drives every boom and bust: the Cantillon Effect.
It explains why the rich get richer when central banks print, why wages lag behind prices, and why every “rescue” deepens the divide between those near the source of money and those far from it.

From the Mississippi Bubble of 1720 to the modern age of stimulus, QE, and digital money, this film reveals how proximity to the fountain of new money shapes the destiny of nations — and why history keeps repeating.

Money doesn’t just buy things. It rewrites society.
Watch the full story of the man who first saw how — and what it means for us today.
