Actually, people who are IN debt win in hyperinflation. They can pay pack with worthless paper, while those who have saved assets will have to go to work as Wal-Mart greeters.

Hmmm... would that be that so-called “moral hazard” that Paulson says they’re “aware of”?

What counted most in 1923 was your ability to keep your job. What made jobs desirable were products to sell that everyone wanted: basic foodstuffs, coal, and liquor.

Inflation is only good for debtors if they have steady sources of income, as saved commodity assests usually won't last more than a couple of years. High inflation tends to cut back on many jobs previously thought to be essential, particularly service and government jobs.
