Wealth by Proximity

The Cantillon Effect is no myth. It is economic truth. Those nearest the money source gain first, acquiring assets before prices rise, owning before value fades. A Cantillionaire does not stumble into wealth. They are positioned to win, woven into the system’s fabric.

This work examines those who benefit from that subtle injustice, where monetary policy masks privilege as stability. Inflation spares some and constrains others, not because prices shift but because access differs. Crypto promised to break the cycle, yet often reflects it.

Wealth flows not to the bold, but to the connected. Those attuned to the first whisper of opportunity navigate advantage with precision. This piece conveys that tension, a refined portrait of proximity’s power, where victory depends not on daring alone but on being present when money moves.
