It's not a conspiracy — it's economics.In this episode of The Think Report, we break down the Cantillon Effect: the economic principle that explains why the first receivers of new money — banks, government contractors, and asset holders — always win, while wage earners are left holding devalued dollars.We also cover why asset prices outpace wages over time, and how businesses systematically capture the surplus that workers generate — and why understanding this is the key to actually building wealth.In this episode:The Cantillon Effect explained with a real estate exampleWhy fiscal and monetary policy widens the wealth gapAsset prices vs. wages — the chart that says it allHow businesses capture economic surplusWhat this means for the middle class and the North American dreamSources & Charts:Federal debt vs. net worth by wealth percentile: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=19DKXS&P 500 vs. median income: https://inflationchart.com/spx-in-incomeRelated watch: https://youtu.be/HbTOQfJ3jQk?si=8g0lP2QrQjr4ctnn&t=82
