Cantillon suggested that #inflation occurs gradually and that the new supply of money has a localised effect on inflation, effectively originating the concept of non-neutral money.

Furthermore, he posited that the original recipients of new #money enjoy higher standards of living at the expense of later recipients.

The concept of relative inflation, or a #disproportionate rise in prices among different goods in an #economy, is now known as the Cantillon Effect.
