No. Everyone profits (the world economy grows). Sure, some people will be left behind like blue collar americans but that’s mostly because of globalization.

Also people that put their money in the stock market for the long term will do much better than others. Even if they are poor, it doesn’t matter. Just buy SP500 with all the money you can spare.

At worst inflation is a tax on ignorance. If you keep buying crap you don’t need with your dollars instead of investing... it will suck for you.

What about those that are so poor that have zero money to spare in the first place? Well, that’s a situation that shouldn’t even exist. That’s why I live in European Social democracy where governments actually distribute wealth.
