Inflation steals from the lenders and gives to the debtors.

Easy to figure out what to do, right?


Borrow to buy some productive asset, I guess...

Lenders will try to demand interest rates that leaves something after the inflation takes its toll. But with Fed meddling with rates on both ends (short term through Fed Funds rate, long term through purchase of debt = printing money) what is left for a lender?

Well, I guess not being a lender is an option. Buying some assets instead of lending money... So more inflation...
