Inflation is theft.
It is implemented using a "public-private partnership" between the Government and the banking organizations who are delegated powers to manage the fiat money supply.
Central bankers, Government bureaucrats, and "Non-Government-Organizations" with contract awards are the groups who get the first cut of new money. They are the main beneficiaries. Almost everybody else gets shorted eventually.
Arguments about the "wage-price-spiral" and "demand-pull" causing inflation are merely distractions to prevent effective actions which might jeopardize the beneficiaries of inflation.
You cannot increase your productivity fast enough to outrun the thieves. Other methods are required to control inflation.
